Lawrence Training at Colchester - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Byron Lawrence is training with Colchester United and is set to feature for their U21s at Sheffield United this afternoon.
Lawrence, 18, broke through into Town the first-team squad as a 15-year-old when he was an unused sub in the 2-1 Carling Cup defeat to Northampton in August 2011.
He made his Town debut as a sub on the final day of the 2011/12 season in the 3-2 victory at Doncaster but is yet to add to that senior appearance.
The midfielder, who is contracted until the end of the season, is currently some distance from the first team with younger players such as Teddy Bishop having moved ahead of him in the pecking order.
Lawrence, who joined the Blues from Histon as a schoolboy, is also expected to play for the U’s U21s against Crystal Palace next week.
