No Holland Move - Ipswich Town News

Former Blue Matt Holland has ruled out a loan move away from Charlton. Holland has recently been linked with Sheffield United after repeated suggestions in the summer that he might be on his way back to Portman Road.

Holland says he wants to stay at the Valley to fight for his place: "I got a call telling me it was in the newspaper but I don't know anything about it.

"I've been in and around the first team this season, so it's not like I'm out of the picture and hopefully I can do enough to win a more permanent role."
