Hewitt Could Make First Appearance in Town Shirt - Ipswich Town News
Summer signing Elliott Hewitt could make his first appearance in a Town shirt on Friday when the Blues U21s take on Cardiff City at Playford Road (KO 11am). The 18-year-old was back in full training for the first time last week having undergone two hip impingement operations while with his former club Macclesfield.
Manager Paul Jewell had pencilled in the right-back for Friday’s game as long as he trained without any problems: "Hopefully he’ll get a good week’s training and then play against Cardiff in the U21s on Friday.
"It’s been a really frustrating time for Elliott, he’s worked exceptionally hard since he’s been here. Since we signed him he’s always been in the gym, now he’s getting himself out on the grass. He’s only 18 but he’s looked sharp in training.”
Friday’s game is Town’s first at home in the newly-formed U21 Professional Development League Two South. Their only match so far was the 2-1 defeat at Swansea.
