Barbrook Twins Sign First Pro Deals
Thursday, 2nd Mar 2023 21:00

Academy twins Harry and Finley Barbrook have signed their first professional deals with the club.

The pair, 18, who hail from Southwold, grew up supporting the Blues and joined the academy aged six.

They were key players in the U18s’ FA Youth Cup run which took them to the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals before losing to West Ham in extra-time last week and have also featured for the U21s this season.

Finley (below) plays in central midfield or at the centre of the defence, while Harry (above) is a left-back.

Their father Matthew was a youth player with the Blues and Scunthorpe in the late 1980s before playing locally in non-league with Lowestoft, Wroxham, Southwold and Sole Bay United.

What a time to be 18yr old prospects at ITFC! Keep your heads down and grow with the club lads. Great to see players coming through the most traditional route with no sign of big money deals and parasitic agents. Good luck lads.

After watching these lads regularly in the u21 agree they fully deserve this. Excellent prospects. Go out onloan next season to L2 hopefully.

I watched these with my son at the away youth cup game at our local side Bromley. So many good players on the team and these two were particularly good. Also wanted to thank all of the team and staff for letting us behind the dugout and making so much time for my lad who loved the experience. Good luck and hopefully see members of this youth team making their way towards the first XI
