Portman Road chance for flying winger

Witham Town's winger Tom Wraight could be leaving the Ryman League after being offered a trial at Ipswich Town.

The 20-year-old is heading for a trial at the Championship club next week after becoming a regular this season in manager Garry Kimble's side at Spa Road.

Wraight, pictured, has been attracting interest from several clubs in the Football League at both League One and Championship level and in a statement on the club's website, assistant-manager Brad King said his chance with the Tractor Boys was fully deserved.

King said: "We won’t hold any youngsters back and he deserves it because he’s one of the best talents I've worked with. I first saw Tom when he was 16 or 17 playing for Tilbury with my brother and when I went to Witham he was one of the first signings I wanted to make.

"I wanted him because I thought he was just exceptional and he’s just grown into a mature player. I think he should be playing in the Football League and there are three or four clubs watching him and enquiring about him so it’s great for him.

"We’ll wish him all the best and hopefully he is successful in his trial because he deserves it. He’s been loyal to us and he’s a credit to himself."
