Ipswich Town U21s have completed a friendly tournament in Canada after drawing 1-1 with Middlesbrough in the final game of the International Summer Series.
The young Blues played three games in total with David Wright in charge of the squad, which was a mix of U21s and U18s players.
Some of the regulars were missing though, due to them being in Austria with the senior squad - they were Finley Barbrook, Edwin Agbaje, Ryan Carr, Leon Ayinde, Osman Foyo and Jesse Nwabueze.
