Miller "Having Medical" - Ipswich Town News
Former Blue Tommy Miller is reported to be undergoing a medical at Portman Road. The 28-year-old, released by Sunderland at the end of the season, has been consistently linked with a return to Town for the last year.
Last week a national newspaper claimed Miller was close to a move back to Suffolk, but a subsequent report said Jim Magilton had denied the link.
Magilton is keen to add a midfielder to his squad and was close to landing his former team-mate on a loan basis last November. That deal fell through after the Blues brought in Mike Pollitt on loan as goalkeeper cover and, with league rules limiting the number of loanees in a squad to six, the Town boss felt Miller would have few opportunities to play during his spell.
In January, the former Hartlepool man moved to Preston on loan, where he made four starts and three sub appearances. Miller was released by Sunderland at the end of the season having had virtually no involvement after Roy Keane took over as manager.
