Gambia and SK Lierse striker, Assan Jatta, commonly known as Bierhoff, is currently on a 10-day trial with the American Major League Soccer club, FC Dallas, Observer Sports can reveal.

The 24-year-old forward joined  SK Lierse in 2007 alongside his comrade Mustapha Jarju from Steve Biko, but his failure to adapt to life at the Belgian club saw him spent the better part of his two-year contract with another second division side, K.F.C. Verbroedering Geel.

His one-year loan spell with Geel expired last season and it seems SK Lierse are in no mood of keeping the injury-plagued forward who has 12 caps to his name.

FC Dallas is a North American professional soccer team based in Frisco, Texas, United States.

Founded in 1996 as the Dallas Burn, the team plays in Major League Soccer (MLS).  From 1996-2002 the team played in the Cotton Bowl. In an effort to save money due to the club's unfavorable lease with the Cotton Bowl, the club played its 2003 home games at Dragon Stadium, a high school stadium in Southlake, a Fort Worth suburb.

After listening to its fans, the Dallas Burn, as the team was called from 1996-2004, moved back to the Cotton Bowl for the 2004 season.

In August 2005, the club moved into Pizza Hut Park, a soccer-specific stadium in the northern suburb of Frisco. To celebrate this move, the club rebranded itself with a more soccer-fitting name, FC Dallas.
