Striker Rhodes Linked With Brentford - Ipswich Town News
Striker Jordan Rhodes is reportedly a loan target of League One Brentford. A Bees representative was amongst the many scouts watching Town's reserves lose 1-0 to Northampton yesterday.
Brentford had fellow Town frontman Dean Bowditch on loan until recently and manager Andy Scott has said that he would like the former England U19 international to return to his club.
Rhodes, who spent a month at Rochdale earlier in the season, looks like to go out on loan again in the near future, having been involved very rarely with Town this season.
In 2007, former Blues midfielder Sammy Moore also spent time on loan with the Bees.
