Ipswich Town young midfielder Finley Barbrook has joined National League side Sutton United on a season-long loan. 

The 19-year-old was named the Blues' Academy Player of the Year for 2023/24 and featured for Kieran McKenna's side during pre-season against Shakhtar Donetsk and Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Barbrook spent last season on loan at Chelmsford City, where he played 30 times as the Clarets reached the play-off semi-finals. 

He now joins Steve Morison's side, who were relegated from football league last campaign after finishing second bottom in League Two. 

 

 

His new head coach said: "He’s been a player we’ve been after all summer.

"As soon as the season finished last year he’s been on our radar and we’ve been talking to the guys at Ipswich for a while now and now I can’t wait to see him in action.

"It’s a great coup for us. He’s a well-rounded midfielder who has lots of quality and athleticism.”

Barbrook has been at Town since the age of six, having signed his first professional deal with the club back in March 2023 alongside his twin brother, Harry. 

He will look to make his debut as the U's travel to Wealdstone tomorrow evening.
