Former Bafana Bafana and Manchester United midfielder Quinton Fortune is on trial in Italy at Serie B side Brescia.
The 31-year-old, who has 47 international caps for South Africa, is set to undergo a medical at the Italian outfit, who issued a statement on their official website.
"Brescia announces that Quinton Fortune will undergo a medical and will begin training with the first team.
"The club does not exclude the possibility that the player, who is a free agent, will wear the Brescia colours in the coming days."
Fortune, who made six appearances for Bolton Wanderers in the 2006/07 season, had unsuccessful trials at Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland and Sheffield United.
