Town centre-half Tommy Smith is out to prove the doubters among New Zealand fans wrong having returned to the All Whites fold ahead of their World Cup double header against Fiji.
Blues boss Mick McCarthy believes central defender Tommy Smith will benefit from playing New Zealand’s two World Cup qualifiers against Fiji later this month as he continues his comeback from his back injury.
Town have offered youngsters James Blanchfield, George Fowler, Monty Patterson, Chris Smith, Shane McLoughlin and Jacob Marsden professional contracts for next season.
