Needham Market Youngster on Trial - Ipswich Town News
Town have taken Needham Market youngster Max Booth on trial, TWTD understands.
Booth, 17, came through the academy at the Ryman League Premier Division club and has become a regular in their first-team squad this season, making two starts and five sub appearances, scoring once. He recently signed a two-year deal with the Marketmen.
The midfielder isn’t the first Needham Market academy scholar to spend time with the Blues.
Last season defender Keiran Morphew spent two spells on trial at Portman Road and impressed Mick McCarthy while playing in the Town U21s but not enough to be offered terms.
Town's U23s are set to play a behind-closed-doors friendly with Southend United on Wednesday.
Speaking last Thursday, manager Mick McCarthy said he would look to arrange a midweek game with Jonny Williams, who played 45 minutes against Liverpool on Sunday, again expected to be involved.
