Former Yeovil Town defender Jamie McAllister is weighing up a contract offer from Exeter City.
The 36-year-old Scot, who usually plays at left-back, is without a club after returning to the country from a spell playing for Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League, but it is believed he has spent the past few weeks training with the Grecians.
"I've been training with one of the teams locally in the Football League. I can't say who at the moment. I have been training since I have been back," he said. "There's a little bit of interest down here that I'm thinking about, so hopefully I will make the decision soon."
Craig Woodman has been a virtual ever-present for the Grecians this season, either as a left-back or left wing-back, while first-year professional Connor Riley-Lowe has also been used sparingly.
McAllister has a wealth of experience, having started his career at Queen of the South in Scotland, but it was at Aberdeen and Bristol City where he really made a name for himself. He then joined Yeovil in 2012 and captained them to victory in the League One play-off final in his first season with the Glovers.
McAllister was a regular for Yeovil's sole season in the Championship but was released by Gary Johnson at the end of last season, before he decided to move to India.
McAllister may not be the only 30-something joining the Grecians this week, with manager Paul Tisdale keen to tie down Clinton Morrison for the remainder of the campaign.
Although the former Republic of Ireland international striker has not scored in his six appearances so far, the manager is pleased with the way he is working with Tom Nichols.
"I'm looking to keep him here," Tisdale said. "I think he's done extremely well and I think him and Tom Nichols were very effective in the first 20 minutes [against Northampton], but after that, we didn't give them much of a chance.
"Clinton is looking better and better and this is all about us winning games. It is not always about who plays well and who is looking good, it is about how effective the team is looking as a whole, but, yes, we want him to stay."
