Upson Joins Barnet - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Ed Upson has joined League Two Barnet on a month's loan. Upson has failed to make an impact on the Town first team since making sub appearances in the Carling Cup ties against Shrewsbury and Peterborough early in the season, although he had a spell out with glandular fever.

Bees boss Ian Hendon says he and his first team coach have been keeping an eye on the 20-year-old: "Lee Harrison and I have watched Upson umpteen times. He is a good young player. The young lads I am bringing in at the moment are players who might be available in the future."

Upson, who has also recently been watched by Blue Square Premier side Histon, is out of contract in the summer. Manager Roy Keane recently said that the Bury St Edmunds based player had work to do if he was to extend his Town stay.

Last season, Upson, who scored the winning goal in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final, spent time on loan at Stevenage Borough, making only one brief appearance as a sub.
