The club is pleased to announce that Ilkeston Town junior and academy scholar Colby Porter has been training with the first team.
A product of our juniors, Colby has impressed first-team manager Ian Deakin and his management team during recent games. Deakin said: “Colby has shown outstanding ability and desire to progress within the game, he is a good footballer and with the right guidance and coaching I am sure he can achieve greater goals.
“We are keen to have a natural pathway from our juniors to our first team. The juniors are an integral part of our club and we are hoping this promotion is one of many.”
Ilkeston Town chairman and owner Andrew Nally added: “I am delighted with this news having been a fan of the player for many seasons. I look forward to watching the next chapter in his footballing journey and hope that one day we see more and more juniors take the leap to our academy and ultimately our first team”.
