Town have signed Australian trialist Tete Yengi on a one-year deal with an option for a further season.

Yengi, 21, signed on the dotted line at Portman Road last week from A-League side Newcastle Jets.

We understand Yengi, who is on the bench for the U23s this afternoon, came to Portman Road via a connection with Town's Australian head of sports science Andy Costin and has been at the club for a fortnight.

Yengi played youth football with Croydon Kings and hometown side Adelaide Comets before joining the Jets on a scholarship in December last year.

The 6ft 5in tall central striker, wideman or attacking midfielder’s older brother Kusini plays for Adelaide United.

bluered26 added 04:11 - Oct 1 Quality news and Newcastle Australia is a great place I get to visit every other month Kind of like lakenheath Felixstowe and Ipswich rolled into one with the port city and air bases Nobby's rock too reminding me of Newcastle Bobby Robson and Solano Hopefully he will settle here better than Tommy using my Oar to get out of here Any idea how we managed to sign an international player without him being capped at that level ?
