Richards Back With Seagulls - Ipswich Town News

Matt Richards has rejoined loan club Brighton and Hove Albion for the final three games of the Seagulls' season. Richards has been back at Portman Road for the month undergoing treatment on a hamstring injury.

The former England U21 international, who has been playing at left-back for Brighton, is out of contract in the summer and looks set to leave Portman Road.

Richards, a product of Town's academy, became the youngest player to represent the Blues in Europe when he made his debut as a 17-year-old against Avenir Beggen in Luxembourg in the UEFA Cup in August 2002.
