New Scouts Targeting Youth and Pace - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Paul Jewell has charged new scouts Andy King and Mark Seagraves with adding youth and pace to his squad. The duo signed on as full-time scouts last week, joining chief scout Steve McCall and David Hamilton in the search for new talent.
Jewell said: "We've got four full-time scouts at the minute with Andy and Mark joining us.
"I think that recruitment is key and we've got to spread our net far and wide, both home and abroad.
"There is nothing wrong with experienced players, but we've also got to have some exuberance, some youth and some power coming through into the squad as well, so we need to have that mix.
"That's the remit really, we've got certain targets in mind and the game, especially at this level, is getting quicker and one thing we lack in our squad is genuine pace."
