Town Linked With Yeovil Defender - Ipswich Town News
The Blues, Reading and Sheffield United are reported to be keeping an eye on Yeovil Town left-back Nathan Smith. The 23-year-old is out of contract this summer, having done well with the Glovers since signing from non-league Potters Bar Town in March 2008.
The 6ft tall left-back is understood to have been offered new terms at Huish Park but is likely to move on if clubs at a higher level firm up their interest.
Previously with Enfield and Waltham Forest, Newcastle-born Smith has made 66 starts and 10 sub appearances with Yeovil, scoring one goal. Prior to winning his professional deal, the attack-minded, pacey full-back worked in IT.
A left-back is very much on Roy Keane’s summer wish-list to compete with Shane O’Connor, Ben Thatcher having left the club midway through the season and David Wright set to leave when his contract is up at the end of June.
Keane has also said that a couple of out-of-contract players are amongst the "four or five” signings he is targeting.
