Released Youngster Iorpenda Joins Huddersfield - Ipswich Town News
Released academy defender George Iorpenda has joined Huddersfield Town on pro terms following a trial at the end of last season.
The 18-year-old, who will play for the Terriers’ U21s in the campaign ahead, was among those let go by the Blues at the end of 2024/25, having had a spell at Brightlingsea Regent earlier in the campaign, and linked-up with the West Yorkshire side in April when he featured for their B team in a 2-1 defeat to Mansfield Town’s U21s.
Also involved in that match was his elder brother Tom, a midfielder who has played a number of first team games for Huddersfield and who joined Notts County on a season-long loan earlier in the summer.
Huddersfield are now managed by former Blues first-team coach Lee Grant with Marcus Harness joining him in West Yorkshire following his release by Town.
