Academy keeper Cody Cropper has confirmed that he has signed his one-year professional contract. Earlier today midfielder Cormac Burke revealed that he’d put pen to paper on his first senior deal.
Cropper tweeted: "Signed my pro contract today with [Cormac Burke]! Absolutely buzzin’! Can't wait for this season!”
US U20 international Cropper and Northern Irish U19 international midfielder Burke will be pros this season while they finish their scholarships as they are a year older than other second years.
Meanwhile, new left-back Aaron Cresswell says he's getting used to life with the Blues after his move from Tranmere: "I’ve been hanging with the younger lads and they can’t stop taking the mickey out of my Scouse accent!
"They’re a great bunch of lads who have made it really easy to settle in.”
Elsewhere, former Blue Ian Westlake has joined NASL side Montreal Impact until the end of the season after a trial.
Ex-academy striker Alan Connell has signed for Swindon Town from Grimsby.
