Town Sign Australian Trialist - Ipswich Town News

Town have signed Australian trialist Tete Yengi on a one-year deal with an option for a further season.

Yengi, 21, signed on the dotted line at Portman Road last week from A-League side Newcastle Jets.

We understand Yengi, who is on the bench for the U23s this afternoon, came to Portman Road via a connection with Town's Australian head of sports science Andy Costin and has been at the club for a fortnight.

Yengi played youth football with Croydon Kings and hometown side Adelaide Comets before joining the Jets on a scholarship in December last year.

The 6ft 5in tall central striker, wideman or attacking midfielder’s older brother Kusini plays for Adelaide United.
