Spotted this a moment ago, Lewis Ridd, 18 year old gk formerly at Ipswich.

I’m guessing he’s going to play u21s so that Evans can go out on loan. Makes sense to get him more time in Men’s football after his loan last year to develop.

Looks like Lewis Ridd was in the Swansea City Academy before joining Ipswich Town as a scholar. Has had loans at Sudbury and Bury Town by the looks of it.

And has played for Wales U18 and U19.

So Ipswich decided to get rid and we've decided to get Ridd

Does anybody know if U21 and U18 matches played at Moor Farm are open to the public?

[Guest]

Yes all games are open to public.

Evans out on a 28 day loan to Carlton Town FC, goes in as their No. 1 for pre-season with option to extend if they and him are happy at the end of it.

Good move for him as I don’t see much of a pathway between academy and first team this year as a divide is put in. I’d expect to see a few go out on loan this year for game time. 

Robinson and Rooney potentially only ones with first team IMO.

I think I’ve seen Bardell, Oduroh, D.Robinson, and Rooney in first-team pre-season photos / videos so far.

[Guest]

Possibly for numbers in drills and small sided games? Oduroh not ready and IMO needs a loan as does Bardell.

And Brown.

Of course, some of those listed may just be filling the berths of all these mega-players we are about to sign! 

[Guest]

I would have thought so.  Need bodies to train it happens a lot.

I would question it as a 2+1 is a scholarship + pro deal and is the standard one given out to most lads joining as a first year scholar. Can only think he’s been released by Spurs.

Agreed. It’s rare for Derby County to give out three year scholarship deals. The last one I can remember was Henry Wise but, even then, he was given a third year after an injury plagued second year (so we must’ve seen something in him) rather than a three year deal up front.

I don't like the idea of kids 'insisting'. Insist when you have achieved something not when you have been released
