Upson Signs With Barnett - Ipswich Town News

FA Youth Cup hero Edward Upson has signed with controversial agent Jonathan Barnett's Stellar Group. The 15-year-old scored the winning goal in the second leg of the final as the Blues took the trophy for the third time in their history.

Upson is expected to join Town's academy as a full-time scholar next summer.

Five other current Blues are represented by Barnett's company; Matt Richards, Lewis Price, Scott Mitchell, Ian Westlake and Darryl Knights, while former youth coach Paul Goddard recently joined Stellar to source, sign and manage young players.

Former Town stars Richard Wright, Kieron Dyer, Titus Bramble, Kelvin Davis, Darren Bent, Matt Holland, Jermaine Wright and Antonio Murray are also on the Stellar roster.
