Fake Football Scout
Cambridgeshire FA have warned all local youth football clubs that there is a gentleman posing as a football scout for Ipswich Town, attending football tournaments in the East Anglia region. Cambs FA are asking people to please be on their guard as he is apparently approaching youngsters direct at these tournaments. Ipswich Town have confirmed that this person has nothing to do with the football club. He wears an Ipswich Town top and is very convincing.
All football scouts have a code of conduct to follow and they are not allowed to approach youngsters direct.
All County Football Club Welfare Officers in the area have been alerted.
