Wordsworth Set for Medical
Tuesday, 29th Jan 2013 12:41

Colchester United midfielder Anthony Wordsworth is reportedly set to undergo a medical at Portman Road with his move to the Blues close to completion. TWTD first reported that the 24-year-old was set to join Town a fortnight ago, boss Mick McCarthy having caught him in action for the U’s in November.

A deal is understood to have been agreed between the clubs — a fee of £100,000 having been reported yesterday — with Wordsworth’s Colchester contract up in the summer.

Camden-born Wordsworth came through the Colchester youth system and made his senior debut in August 2007.

Since then the central midfielder, who can also play wide, has made 155 starts and 44 substitute appearances, scoring 35 goals.

Last season he scored 13 times but this campaign, as the U’s have struggled near the foot of League One, the set-piece expert has managed only three.
