Ntambwe and Packwood pen professional contracts

Academy graduates Brice Ntambwe and Will Packwood have been awarded contracts at Birmingham. The pair have signed their first professional deals at St Andrews after catching the eye in the youth ranks. The duo are now tied to the Blues until the summer of 2013. Ntambwe and Packwood are both 18 and have made impressive progress in their careers so far. As well as blazing a trail at Birmingham, they have earned intentional recognition with their respective countries. Central midfielder Ntambwe is a former captain of Belgium's U17 side and will be hoping to break into the senior fold in the not too distant future. Packwood, meanwhile, is a versatile American who can operate in midfield or in defence and has been included in the USA's U18 squad for this summer's Milk Cup in Northern Ireland.
