Teenager Tyrone Mings set to agree deal at Town

Town have agreed a deal to sign teenage defender Tyrone Mings from non-League side Chippenham Town.

The 19-year-old began his career alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the Southampton youth team, before moving into non-League with Yate Town and then Chippenham, where he played alongside side Russell Osman's son, Toby.   

Mings played for Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Nike Academy on Monday and caught the eye of manager Mick McCarthy.

The 6’3” defender is equally capable of playing as a left-back or at centre-half and is available for selection immediately, once the relevant paperwork has been processed.
