One Year for Miller - Ipswich Town News
The Blues have offered Bury Town central defender Ian Miller a contract until the end of the season. Miller revealed last week that the clubs are discussing the terms of his move to Portman Road.
TWTD was first to reveal that Miller was joining the Blues on trial early last month, having impressed the Town management in the pre-season friendly at Ram Meadow.
During his five-week spell the 22-year-old made two reserve appearances and boss Jim Magilton is confident he has what it takes to make it at this level.
Elsewhere, reports in Ireland indicate that the Blues are keen to sign Cork City midfielder George O'Callaghan. The 27-year-old has been on trial with the Blues and his spell at Playford Road has been extended into this week.
Meanwhile, Alan Lee's first goal of the season at Birmingham on Saturday was witnessed by his international boss Steve Staunton. The Republic of Ireland manager also got a chance to watch Jon Macken, who has one Irish cap, and caught 10 minutes of Billy Clarke in action.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
