Hertford Town have confirmed that young left-back Max Hudson has joined the Blues following his trial at the end of last season.

TWTD reported in May that the 18-year-old had agreed to join Town having been offered professional terms following a trial spell in which he featured in the final four U23s games last season but with discussions between the clubs ongoing.

Hudson was with Tottenham’s academy as a schoolboy but wasn’t offered a scholarship last summer. As an U15 he spent time at an England training camp.

Town boss Kieran McKenna is likely to be familiar with the full-back having been the U18s coach at Spurs while Hudson was playing for younger age groups.

It’s believed a number of EFL clubs had taken note of Hudson’s performances for Southern League Division One Central Hertford last season with the Blues inviting him to spend time at Playford Road after watching him in a trial match for young players looking to return to the professional game played at Needham Market's Bloomfields.

Linkboy13 added 16:44 - Jul 29 Seen him play for the under 23s and has looked promising but is a long way off playing for the first team. He's very slight of build but if he fills out a bit could be very useful in deed. Expect him to go out on loan maybe next season.
