At six foot five inches McCombe has attracted interest from several Premiership clubs, with Totenham Hotspur also keeping tabs on the player who has impressed after breaking into the side this season.

"This is just a great opportunity for Jamie to show what he can do amongst players at the highest level," explained Iron gaffer Brian Laws to the club's official website today.
"Villa are one of the clubs that have been showing an interest in him and they asked if they could take him for a short trial.
