Ipswich Town youngster Cameron Humphreys signs new three-year contract

Ipswich Town have moved to tie down one of their most promising young players.

Cameron Humphreys, who last summer penned his first professional contract at Portman Road, has signed a new three-year deal with the club.

In committing his future to the Tractor Boys, Humphreys has joined Wes Burns, Kayden Jackson, Sone Aluko, Luke Woolfenden and Tommy Hughes – all of whom have signed fresh deals in recent weeks.

The 18-year-old made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup at home against Newport County last August – and he went on to make a further two appearances.

The latter of those – against Charlton Athletic on the final day of the campaign – saw him set up James Norwood to score in a 4-0 victory.

Humphreys also played a leading role for the Under-23s side that won the Professional Development League South Division, and he played his part for the Under-18s, who won the Professional Development League Cup with a 7-0 victory over Coventry City in the final – a night in which he once again showed his creative side with three assists.

Those performances saw him win the Academy Player of the Year prize at the recent ITFC Supporters Club's Player of the Year Awards event.
