Town’s Head of Academy Recruitment Lee Mellor explained:
“Cameron impressed us all during his trial period and we’re delighted to officially welcome him to the club today as a full-time member of the Young Terriers.
“He’s got some good qualities that work well in his favoured position as an attack-minded midfielder. He’s got real intent to play forward when he gets on the ball, he’s a good athlete and, just as importantly, he’s got a fantastic attitude when it comes to his work ethic off the ball too.
“We feel there is the potential for Cameron to really improve in our coaching programme, and we’re all excited to work with him.”
