Town boss Paul Jewell has revealed that former Blues keeper Richard Wright is training at Cardiff City. TWTD revealed earlier in the summer that Wright was training at Playford Road to keep himself fit having left Sheffield United at the end of last season.

Jewell said: “I think Richard’s gone to train with Cardiff. He’s been here, he’s a good character Richard, he lives locally and he’s been training here with us doing him a favour, keeping him fit. He’s been impressive in training.”

TWTD reported that former Town goalkeeper-coach James Hollman had joined the Bluebirds in the same role last month.

Wright clearly made an impression on Jewell during his time at Playford Road but the Blues currently don’t have a goalkeeping vacancy.

However, this could potentially change with Márton Fülöp apparently interesting West Brom and with Town certainly needing three goalkeepers with Fulham having a 24-hour recall on loanee David Stockdale.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 08:08 - Aug 5 I've always liked RW, an impression that was not altered by exchanging a few words with him at a meeting about 2-3 years back. Great lad and great keeper. By all means, let's have him back if Fülop goes (but he may not be prepared to be potential nr. 2 to Stockdale).

WonkyZombie added 08:39 - Aug 5 Should Richard come back, I guess he would be the last of the old guard of Town 'stars'? Let's hope the newbies Jewell's brought in this pre-season can step up to the plate and create the new breed.

randomblue added 09:36 - Aug 5 Wouldn't mind him as a backup keeper. Move Fulop on to West Brom and sign Wrighty on a basic contract!

Karlosfandangal added 10:06 - Aug 5 His first season back he was excellent, However you could see his confidence go as the fans got on his back a bit in the second season. Could be a very good back up for us and if Stockdale got recalled then we would have some great cover, not a long term solution but would give us time to look for a new number one for next season. As Ipswich keepers go i would rate him only second to Cooper

DiamondGezzer added 11:09 - Aug 5 Would Richard be prepaired to be number two, I don't think so, no matter what our views are.

Marshalls_Mullet added 12:27 - Aug 5 Thanks for raising the question Phil. I think coming in as a No2 would be perfect for him, he would come in with no pressure and build his confidence back up. Remember Stockdale is only here for one season max.
