Mings Signs - Ipswich Town News
Defender Tyrone Mings has tweeted a photo of himself signing an 18-month contract with Town. The 19-year-old joins from non-league Chippenham Town, TWTD having revealed that the Blues were close to adding the former Southampton academy player to their squad yesterday.
Clearly chuffed to have put pen to paper on a professional deal he added: "This is for everyone who laughed when I said I wanted to be a footballer or said I wouldn't make it."
Mings impressed Blues boss Mick McCarthy during a trial game for Town at Playford Road on Monday.
The deal between the two clubs is believed to include a pre-season friendly between the sides at Chippenham.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
