TWTD understands that released academy central defender Josh Meekings is interesting League Two Torquay United and SPL side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

The Bury St Edmunds-born 18-year-old was told his time with Town was up a fortnight ago, along with fellow second-year scholar Rory McKeown, a Northern Ireland U19 international defender.

Caley Thistle are managed by Blues legend Terry Butcher, formerly the central defensive partner of Meekings’s Town U18s coach Russell Osman.

Blues striker Ronan Murray, who has been offered a new one-year deal by boss Paul Jewell, is on loan with the Gulls until the end of the season.

broomfield123 added 04:12 - Apr 20 Always nice too see somebody get a start. Even more so when its a youngster. Not pleasant when a person losses their job. You never know 1 or 2 may prove pj wrong and make a good living out the game

blue1 added 11:19 - Apr 20 Good luck in the future anyone who knows anything about football will know stupid comments and cliches get pulled out at times like this. But sometimes hard work and ability are just not enough and you need to move on its the same in any line of work. Go and show everyone what you can do and don't look back.
