Town Sign Needham Youngster Wood - Ipswich Town News
Town have signed teenage midfielder Charlie Wood from Needham Market on a three-year professional deal.
The 17-year-old central midfielder, who is already almost six-feet tall, had been interesting a number of Premier League clubs after breaking into the Vanarama National League North club’s first team earlier this season, his first year in the club’s academy.
Earlier in the season he featured for AFC Bournemouth’s U18s against the Blues during a trial which was subsequently extended and a number of other Premier League sides as well as Championship Stoke were also keen.
His agents, Dominance Sports Group, announced the deal on their Instagram page: "Charlie Wood has completed his transfer to Premier League side Ipswich Town from National League North side Needham Market, signing a three-year professional contract.”
