Hewitt to Miss Start of Season - Ipswich Town News
New Town signing Elliott Hewitt is unlikely to make his first team debut until October due to the hip impingement injuries which ended his 2011/12 season with former club Macclesfield. The 18-year-old, who recently signed a three-year deal with the Blues, is currently undergoing rehabilitation at Lilleshall having had operations on both hips.
Boss Paul Jewell told the club site: "We knew about Elliott's situation before we completed the deal and it's no problem.
"Our medical people spoke to the surgeon and a hip specialist and everyone is pleased with the way he is recovering.
"We will have him working with the rest of the group as soon as he's at that fitness level, but he's a young lad, one for the future.
"We were tracking him through the whole of last season and we're delighted to have him here. There were a lot of clubs interested in him. He's a good player already and he's only going to get better."
