Ipswich Town have completed the signing of England U17 international midfielder Blue Wilson from Manchester City.
Blue, 17, joins the Tractor Girls after one year in Manchester and becomes Town's first summer signing.
She started her career at the Essex RTC, where she was coached by current Town boss Joe Sheehan before signing a deal with the Cityzens last summer.
During her time at City, Blue was an integral part of their U21 setup before an injury disrupted her 2018/19 campaign. Despite never featuring for the first-team, Blue trained with the likes of England captain Steph Houghton, Nikita Parris and Jill Scott.
Just like many of her City teammates, Blue is also recognised at international level. She has previously captained England at both U15 and U16 levels and was part of the young Lionesses' squad for their U17 European Championships qualifying campaign.
Whilst away on international duty, Blue has also played alongside current Town duo Eloise King and Paige Peake.

After one season at the Etihad, Blue decided to seek a change and officially put pen to paper to sign with Ipswich Town in her native East Anglia earlier this month.
Blue, who has been handed the number 4 shirt, will feature for both the first-team and U21's this season.
Everyone at Ipswich Town would like to welcome Blue to the club and wish her every success with the Tractor Girls.
