The attacking defender has seen Football League duty with Colchester, Rotherham and Barnet.
And, according to Pompey’s boss, there is interest from elsewhere in his services.
Jackett said: ‘We are just doing Richard a favour really, he has been training with us as he works towards a trial or two coming up.

‘We are doing him a favour in terms of training with us.
‘It suited us that he played at Aldershot, it helped us in terms of stature and experience – and suited him to play as well.
‘Richard has one or two leads in terms of clubs to go to, so when it has suited us he has trained with us.
‘He has not been getting in the way of anybody and we have been pleased to help him.’
