Town midfielder Liam Trotter today signed a two year contract at Town before being sent out on-loan to Millwall.
Liam has moved to the new den on a three month loan but Town will be able to recall the 18 year old after a month if they need too.
Liam: “The gaffer called me into his office this afternoon and told me that the Club was offering me a two year deal, it came completely out of the blue but I had no hesitation in agreeing and the whole thing was done in an hour.
“It was my last year as a scholar so there was a bit of concern on my part as to what would happen at the end of the season but now that's been cleared up and I'm delighted.”
“Willie (Donachie), asked the Club if I could go there on loan and Jim said it would be a good move for me, it's the next step for me now, playing regular League football and I'm really looking forward to it.”
Town manager Jim Magilton added: “Liam has done well in the reserves and we're delighted to have offered him his first professional contract.
“Now he needs to go out in the big, wide world of football and get some first-team experience.
“You can't beat playing games week in, week out for a young player's development and it's the next logical step for his career.”
