Re: Sean Doherty

Here is the full article from the East Anglian: (couldn't find a link)

A former Everton youth team-mate of Wayne Rooney is today on trial with Ipswich Town.

Sean Doherty, who played alongside Gary Roberts as Stanley earlier this season, is looking to clinch a deal with the blues in the summer when he becomes a free agent.

Town Manager Jim Magilton who was last night working with BBC Northern Ireland said, " I know Sean's dad well and he is a friend of GR but really we invited him down because he is a lad with real pedigree. He was in the same youth team as WR at Everton and he went to Fulham but never really got a chance. Sean is a free agent and this was a good opportunity for him to have alook at us and for us to see him at close quarters.

Left winger Doherty was a promising youngster who won seven caps for England youth teams but after failing to make it at Fulham after a controversial move there from Everton, he had a spell in Holland at ADO Den Haag.

The 22-year old also had stints with Blackpool and Port Vale and a loan spell at Southport b4 making the last of his 18 appearances for Stanley as a late sub V's Hereford last weekend.

That concludes the Story from down 'ere. Watch this space for updates.
