TWTD understands that the Blues have handed academy winger Reggie Lambe a professional contract. Lambe was in the U18 side which beat Reading 2-1 at Playford Road on Saturday.

The 18-year-old has already won nine full caps for Bermuda and scored all four of his international goals in a World Cup qualifier against St Martin last September.

Lambe's fellow senior academy scholars Paul Watson, a central defender, full-back or midfielder Joe Clemo and midfielder Matt Daniels have not been offered terms by Town.

Previously, TWTD revealed that defender or striker Jack Ainsley had been given a one-year professional deal and that keeper Lewis Ward will be released at the end of the season, Town having signed Irish stopper Ian McLoughlin on an 18-month professional contract.
