Hartlepool End Interest in Healy - Ipswich Town News

Hartlepool United are reported to have decided against making another move for Town midfielder Colin Healy. The Blues gazumped Pools last summer when they signed the former Ireland midfielder from Cork City, matching the League One side's â‚¬100,000 offer with the 30-year-old close to putting pen to paper on a deal at Victoria Park.

Hartlepool targeted Healy again in January when they considered bringing him in on loan, but withdrew their interest and the ex-Celtic man returned to Scotland to spend the rest of the season at Falkirk.

Healy, who has a year left on his Town contract, is understood to have been told he has no future with the Blues, but according to reports in the North-East, Hartlepool have decided not to make a renewed move for the Cork-born midfielder, despite being alerted to his availability by his agent.

Healy, who Scottish reports recently linked with Aberdeen, has made only five starts for the Blues since his move to Suffolk last July.

Meanwhile, former Blue Marcus Stewart has decided to play one more season for League One Exeter City. Stewart, now 37, is also a coach with the Grecians and says that 2010/11, his 20th season, will be his last, having initially decided to retire two years ago.
