League One side Yeovil Town have signed goalkeeper Josh Wagenaar.

Russell Slade has recruited the Canadian after a successful trial spell at Huish Park.

The 23-year-old signs a one-year contract and hopes the move will help add to his solitary international cap, which he won against Hungary in 2006.

He told BBC Somerset: “We’re just heading into some more qualifying games and so if I’m playing here maybe I can get a game or two,”

“It would be nice to continue my involvement with the national team, even if it’s just on the bench.”

The former ADO Den Haag and Lyngby stopper will have to get past fellow country-man Asmir Begovic if he is to gain international recognition though.

But Wagenaar is relishing the challenge posed by his rival, who arrived at the club on loan from Portsmouth last week.

He added: “On the field it’s going to be a battle between the two of us, we’ve played together a lot for the Canada under-20 national team,”

“Off the field we have a good friendship but on the field you have to put your best foot forward.”
