Blanchfield Travels to Preston - Ipswich Town News
Academy midfielder James Blanchfield is travelling with the first-team squad to Preston ahead of Saturday’s game at Deepdale.
It’s the first time the 17-year-old central midfielder has been involved with the senior squad, who are flying to the North-West today.
Essex-based Blanchfield joined the Town Academy last summer - having had a spell on trial at Manchester United - after leaving Arsenal’s youth set-up.
Blanchfield has made the trip to gain experience of life with the first team and is not in the squad.
