Fowler Completes Aldershot Switch - Ipswich Town News
Aldershot have confirmed the signing of Blues defender George Fowler on a permanent basis, the 20-year-old having been on loan with the Vanarama National League club since August.
Former Debenham High School pupil Fowler, who moves on a free transfer, has signed a deal which runs until the summer of 2019.
Speaking about academy product Fowler’s impending move to the Shots on Friday, manager Mick McCarthy said: "He is [joining Aldershot], that’s the plan. They want to take him and equally he’s not going to get in the first team here.
"And so rather than being in a scrum with Adam [McDonnell, who joined Aldershot onapermanent basis last week] and another 1,000 players in the summer, I think it’s great that Gary Waddock likes them.
"They’re playing, they can improve and we will have a sell-on clause so if they do sell them we would be reimbursed, I guess, for their development.”
