Young striker Ben Folami is targeting a first team place after he signed his first professional contract at Ipswich Town, inking a three-year contract.
The 18-year-old progressed through the academy ranks to make his breakthrough in the first team over the closing stages of the season.
He made his first Championship start in the 4-0 win at Reading, to add to three substitute appearances for the Blues during the league campaign.
