Town teenager Cameron Humphreys has today signed a new three-year contract to extend his time at Portman Road.

The news will delight supporters after the 18-year-old midfielder had attracted the attention of a host of Premier League admirers, with Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Leeds, as well as Championship outfit Blackburn, all monitoring his progress last season.

Humphreys, who won the club’s Young Player of the Year accolade last season, became a full-time academy scholar in 2020 and only signed his first pro deal a year ago.

His senior debut came in August last year in the 1-0 home defeat by Newport County in the EFL Cup and he made three further sub appearances during the season, including his home league debut on the final day of the season, the 4-0 thrashing of Charlton, in which he created James Norwood's goal.

The new deal ties Humphreys to Town until the summer of 2025.

iaintaylorx added 15:51 - Jun 8 Amazing to hear, this lad looks a really outstanding player! I'm just so, so happy things around the club are exciting and hearing what Woolfy said earlier today is incredible, considering where we were going under previous ownership and management! Just goes to show the right manager and staff behind him, combined with the backing of owners who really are passionate about bringing success, can bring happiness and promise to the future!! Huge season ahead and one which I've never been more excited for!!

BeattiesBackPocket added 17:01 - Jun 8 Excellent news huge prospect. Although I'd like to hear from a minority of people on here who said we won't or don't give youth a chance? 👀 Giving the kids the platform is our job the rest is theirs.

ringwoodblue added 19:48 - Jun 8 Excellent news. We haven't had a decent homegrown midfielder for a while so let's hope he stays and realises his potential at Town.

Razor added 06:35 - Jun 9 Suffolkblueeye-----yup have been asking for Twine all year and will be a massive coup if we can persuade him to come----perhaps this signing is the starter to the main meal!!!

dml12345 added 12:39 - Jun 9 @Beattie - probably best to wait until he's actually given a chance first!! Signing a contract is the club making sure they don't potentially lose him for peanuts.
