After obliterating the National Premier League's NSW competition this year with champions Sydney Olympic, 29-year-old Spanish forward Alex Sanchez is hoping to land himself a gig in the A-League after being invited to trial with Sydney FC.

The Sky Blues are searching for a replacement for injured forward Trent Buhagiar, who is out for the season with a knee injury, and were initially prepared to wait until the January transfer window to make a signing. However, they are keeping the door open to bringing in somebody before then by inviting Sanchez to train with the squad this week.

The former Real Zaragoza striker caught the attention of the Sky Blues after his impressive haul this season in the NPL, bagging 21 goals in 24 appearances for Olympic.
