Trialist Hudson Agrees to Sign - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands trialist left-back Max Hudson has agreed to sign a professional contract with Town.
TWTD revealed last week that the 17-year-old, who has been with Southern League Division One Central side Hertford this season, had been offered terms by the Blues after impressing during his trial spell.
We understand Hudson has agreed to sign the deal with the Blues in talks with Hertford regarding the terms of his move, which seem likely to be a formality. Hudson will be a member of John McGreal’s development squad next season.
Hudson, who played in Town’s last four U23s games this season, was with Tottenham’s academy as a schoolboy but wasn’t offered a scholarship last summer. As an U15 he spent time at an England training camp.
Town boss Kieran McKenna is likely to be familiar with the full-back having been the U18s coach at Spurs while Hudson was playing for younger age groups.
It’s believed a number of EFL clubs had taken note of Hudson’s performances for Hertford this season with the Blues inviting him to spend time at Playford Road after watching him in a trial match for young players looking to return to the professional game at Needham Market.
