Watson Joins Livingston - Ipswich Town News

Released academy central defender Paul Watson has signed a two-year deal with Scottish side Livingston. Watson was surprisingly let go by the Blues at the end of his scholarship in May.

Livingston were recently demoted to the Scottish Third Division having recently been in administration but are appealing against their relegation from the First Division.

Watson is set to make his debut against Montrose tomorrow, having impressed in a trial. Previously he had spent time with Kilmarnock, Peterborough and Aldershot without being offered terms.

Meanwhile, ex-Blues loanee Danny Simpson has signed on loan for Newcastle from Manchester United.

Elsewhere, Norwich City have sacked manager Bryan Gunn and have replaced him with assistant boss Ian Butterworth in the wake of last week's 7-1 trouncing by Colchester United.
