Histon Eyeing Upson - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that Cambridgeshire-based Blue Square Premier side Histon were at Wednesday's reserve defeat to Wycombe at Playford Road to keep an eye on Town midfielder Ed Upson.

The 20-year-old scored Town's goal in the 2-1 loss to the Chairboys, having netted twice the previous week at Southend and a penalty a fortnight ago at Norwich.

After that game manager Roy Keane said that Upson, who was suffering with glandular fever earlier in the season, needs to "get a move on with his fitness" if he is to win an extension to his contract which is up in the summer.

The Bury St Edmunds-born player, who scored the winner in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final when only 15, previously spent a loan spell with Stevenage during 2008 and has made two senior appearances for the Blues, both as a sub in the Carling Cup earlier this season.
