With The Trawlerboys set to return to Step 3 football in just 12 days time, Lowestoft have been boosted by a new recruit - with a former Ipswich Town FC youngster joining the Blues.

Ahead of the opening Pitching In Southern League Premier Central Division clash on August 10 against Redditch United, Blues officials have expressed delight after sealing a new signing - with a warm Trawlerboys welcome extended to Ben Haddoch.

Lowestoft Town FC boss Jamie Godbold said: "I am pleased to welcome Ben Haddoch to the club after he impressed throughout pre-season.

"Ben is a good young talent that can play in multiple positions.

"He has bags of energy, is technically excellent, and has a good footballing brain.

"He’s had a good upbringing following a career with Ipswich Town and will be a great addition to the squad."

A warm welcome to the club, Ben!
