McEveley Linked With Town Return - Ipswich Town News
Town are being linked with a move for former loanee Jay McEveley. The 24-year-old Derby County left-back is out of contract in the summer and is said to be available at a bargain price, although the Rams were recently reported to be ready to offer him a new deal.
McEveley, who has been capped three times by Scotland, was with the Blues while a Blackburn player during the 2005/06 season, making 17 starts and two sub appearances, scoring once.
The Liverpool-born defender, who had previously spent time on loan at Gillingham and Burnley while with Blackburn, joined Derby for £600,000 in January 2007, subsequently joining Preston and Charlton on loan.
This season the 6ft 1in tall left-back or centre-half has been a regular in Nigel Clough’s side.
A new left-back very much appears to be on Roy Keane’s January wish-list with Lee Wallace of Hearts linked towards the end of last year and Carlisle’s Ian Harte targeted just before the emergency loan deadline.
