Academy keeper Cody Cropper has been named in the US U20 squad for a training camp in Vichy, France from May 15th-20th. The 20-man squad will also play two friendlies against the France U20 side on May 17th and May 19th.

Cropper, 18, has been given a one-year professional contract by Town while he completes the final season of his scholarship at Playford Road.

The Atlanta-born keeper is likely to be the first choice for the France friendlies with previous number one Zac MacMath soon to be too old for the U20 age group and not making the trip.

US U20s: Cody Cropper (Ipswich Town), Brian Sylvestre (Vancouver Whitecaps), Anthony Brooks (Hertha Berlin) , Sean Cunningham (Molde FK), Sacir Hot (New York Red Bulls), Sebastien Ibeagha (Duke University), Daniel Potts (West Ham United), Kofi Sarkodie (Houston Dynamo), Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake), Sebastian Lletget (West Ham United, Dillon Powers (University of Notre Dame), Kelyn Rowe (UCLA), Conor Shanosky (DC United), Donny Toia (Real Salt Lake), Terrence Boyd (Hertha Berlin) Conor Doyle (Derby County), Josh Gatt (Molde FK), Joe Gyau (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim), Jerome Kiesewetter (Hertha Berlin), Victor Ulloa (FC Dallas).

tellitasiseeit added 09:46 - May 11 This young goalkeeper has been around the world learning his goalkeeping skills? I believe this young man will turn out in the not to distant future to be wearing the number 1 shirt for Ipswich FC .He is a young man that goes about his business of learning and to do better each day through his training ?.Is that why Ipswich keep a low profile on this young man, I wonder?
