Bridgend-born Yorwerth, a Wales U16, U19 and U21 international, was released by Cardiff in May having come through their youth system.

While on trial with the Blues he featured in the U21s games against Charlton, Bristol City - in which he scored - and Colchester.

Delighted my deal has been confirmed at @Official_ITFC and I look forward to getting back too work next week! #ITFC– Josh Yorwerth (@Joshyorwerth_) June 23, 2015

Yorwerth, who is yet to make a senior appearance, will join up with the rest of the squad when they return to Playford Road for pre-season next week. He is likely to initially be viewed as a member of Mark Kennedy’s development squad.

Meanwhile, tickets to the pre-season friendly at Colchester United on Tuesday 28th July go on sale via Planet Blue and ITFC Direct from Thursday.

battyblue added 05:30 - Jun 24 I don't mind how many development players as long as we get the strengthening we desperately need in the first team squad which looks less and less likely at this stage i don't believe MM gives a diddly squat about winning promotion if he does its time he start showing it.

BillBlue added 09:59 - Jun 24 samassiabou - Thank you for so clearly illustrating a point I have maintained on this board for some years. People on this board make no attempt to understand or interpret what their fellow posters are actually saying, instead they make a hasty ill-constructed assumption and immediately start insulting perfectly nice and intelligent people then their cronies join in to support their misunderstanding and we end up in a perpetual mess of cross arguments, why should it be? Good advice would be - if you do not fully understand what is being posted ask a question rather than jumping in with both feet and calling somebody an idiot which you should not do in any case!
