Ex-Canary Wyatt Agrees Pro Deal With Town - Ipswich Town News

Former Norwich City academy left-back Ben Wyatt has revealed that he has agreed a one-year pro deal with Town. The 18-year-old spent time on trial with the Blues towards the end of the season and featured for the U21s.

Wyatt, who completed his two-year scholarship with the Canaries this season, tweeted: "It would have been good to stay [at Norwich] but the club decided otherwise! I'd like to say thanks to everyone for their support personally over eight years.

"But my main focus now is at my new club and I am delighted to sign my first pro contract at Ipswich Town! I feel this is a great opportunity.”

Born in Norwich, Wyatt was in the Canaries’ FA Youth Cup-winning side in 2012/13, having been with them since their U11s. Earlier this year, he spent time training with the England U18s.

Earlier today, Blues second-year scholar Omar Sowunmi also agreed a one-year pro deal at Portman Road..

Meanwhile, Leeds have confirmed Town loanee Paul Green's release at the end of his contract. Blues boss Mick McCarthy has said he'll weigh-up whether to offer the Republic of Ireland international terms later in the summer.
