Foley Coaching in the Cayman Islands - Ipswich Town News

Youth development coach Steve Foley is in the Cayman Islands this week as the Blues academy continues to forge links with the British Overseas Territory.

Foley, who came close to returning to his former club Norwich City as first-team coach earlier in the summer, is coaching at the Academy Sports Club, where he previously spent time last year.

The informal relationship between the clubs began in 2012 and has seen young players from the Caribbean island group visit Playford Road on a number of occasions, while Town have been invited to send a team out for a tournament next year.

Meanwhile, the Blues continue to wait for confirmation that they have been successful in their bid to upgrade to a category one academy.

Town’s U18s play their traditional friendly away against Southwold on the Common on Friday evening (KO 6.30pm).
