Cropper at US U20s Camp - Ipswich Town News
Academy keeper Cody Cropper has joined up with the US U20 squad for a training camp in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The camp, which started yesterday and runs until January 13th, is part of the US squad's preparations for the 2011 FIFA U20 World Cup in Colombia in July and August.
Cropper, who joined Town’s academy as a second-year scholar in the summer, was pulled out of an U20 tournament in November because it clashed with Town’s Youth Cup defeat to Peterborough.
