Sunderland Midfielder Linked With Town Loan - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to be taking Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback on a season-long loan. Over the weekend, boss Roy Keane revealed that the Blues were close to adding a midfield player to their squad.
Newcastle-born Colback, 19, joined the youth set-up at Sunderland at 11 and was given first team experience by Keane in pre-season last year during the Blues’ boss’s spell as manager at the Stadium of Light.
The central midfielder, 5ft 8in tall, is yet to make a competitive first team appearance for the Black Cats, but has won caps at U20 level with England.
