PETER Odemwingie was last night on course to join up with Wanderers in an attempt to earn a contract.

The Nigeria international striker had medical tests yesterday morning and is due to link up with the first-team squad tomorrow at Lostock.

It is understood that Wanderers want to take a good look at the 35-year-old before committing to a deal and Whites boss Phil Parkinson and his staff will run their eye over him in training over the next two days.

Odemwingie has not played a competitive game since April but insists he is still fit enough to cope with the demands of league football.

He also claims finances will not be a stumbling block for clubs looking to sign him in the third tier.

“I’m prepared to drop down in the short-term until the end of the season,” said the former West Brom and Stoke City front man.

“By then I will, hopefully, have attracted some interest from the Premier League or one of the European leagues.

“I will play my way, starting from scratch, to get back to whatever level I can make it to.

“I need a window to show what I can still do. I’m not afraid to be on League One money, I’m just a big kid who misses football. I want to serve a purpose and show people you don’t have to give up. I’m absolutely prepared to go down a level – I have nothing to hide.”
