Meekings on Trial With Butcher\'s Caley - Ipswich Town News
Released academy centre-half Josh Meekings has joined Terry Butcher’s Inverness Caledonian Thistle on trial. The SPL side have already begun their pre-season programme ahead of the 2011/12 campaign.
Meekings and fellow defender Rory McKeown were the only academy scholars released by the Blues at the end of last season. TWTD reported Caley’s interest in the 18-year-old in April.
Town begin their own pre-season preparations on Friday, not Wednesday as initially planned, although a number of academy players returned to Playford Road to get an early start last week.
