Former Blues Mings and Sowunmi Join Bournemouth Fans for Kickabout - Ipswich Town News

Former Town full-back Tyrone Mings surprised a group of AFC Bournemouth fans by joining them for a seven-a-side kickabout last night along with ex-Blues youngster Omar Sowunmi, who is currently with Yeovil Town.

Mings tweeted "I wanna go kick some ball tonight” and was invited along to a game on a 4G pitch at the Littledown Centre in the Dorset town.

The 24-year-old later tweeted a picture of himself and Sowumni with their new team-mates.

Mings left the Blues for the Premier League Cherries two years ago for a fee of £8.1 million, while Sowunmi, 21, came through the academy and featured for the U21s before being released in the summer of 2015 without making a first-team appearance.

The former Braintree and Lowestoft loanee, who plays either as a striker or centre-half, subsequently joined the Glovers.
