Needham Market's Morphew to Train With Town - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that Needham Market youngster Keiran Morphew has been invited to train with the Blues next week.
Morphew impressed playing at centre-half during Monday’s 1-0 U21s victory over QPR at Playford Road and the Town staff are keen to take a closer look at the 22-year-old, who can also operate as a central midfielder or full-back.
A product of the Ryman League Premier Division club’s academy where he now coaches, Morphew previously spent time with the Blues in 2013 when he played a game for the U21s, coincidentally away against QPR, at right-back.
If Town were ultimately to take their interest further then it's likely Needham would be due a fee along the lines of the £10,000 paid to Chippenham for Tyrone Mings when he joined the club in 2012.
