Colchester Garvan Loan Club - Ipswich Town News
Colchester United are understood to be the club which midfielder Owen Garvan opted against joining on loan a fortnight ago, while Huddersfield United are also believed to be interested in the Republic of Ireland U21 skipper. Garvan is currently out of Roy Keane’s plans at Portman Road.
Last week, Keane revealed that Garvan had decided against a temporary switch to an unnamed club: "Owen had an opportunity last week, but he didn’t want to go and get some games.”
The U’s are said to be continuing their pursuit of the Dubliner, who hasn’t played for Town since the defeat at West Brom at the end of August.
Huddersfield are also believed to have showed interest in the 21-year-old, who recently expressed his determination to get back in Roy Keane’s plans.
Meanwhile, stand-in skipper Jon Walters has backed Keane to be a success with the Blues: "Without a shadow of doubt we have a manager who can take us places.
"Our training is first class and no one at the club wants to be in the position we now find ourselves.
"It is no reflection on where we want to be and look forward to being in the not too distant future.”
