Ambition down the A140

I'd not spotted this amazing piece of transfer news until today. According to the BBC:

"Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Macclesfield defender Elliott Hewitt for an undisclosed fee. The Wales Under-21 right-back agreed a three-year deal with the Championship club on his 18th birthday. He missed the final eight weeks of last season with a hip injury but is expected to be fit for pre-season. Hewitt, who made his senior debut less than 13 months ago, played 24 times last season as the Silkmen were relegated from the Football League."

As an occasional visitor to the Moss Rose Macclesfield, I should report that The Silkmen failed to win a single game after Christmas in 2012 and plummeted into the Conference. There was some dreadful football, relegation, Manager sacked, and the Chairman resigned. Recruiting from this level seems to be just the place for our Ipswich 'friends'.
