Lisbie Fancies Millwall Switch - Ipswich Town News

Striker Kevin Lisbie has confirmed that he is training with Town’s youth players, as reported by TWTD a week ago. Lisbie, who has a year left on his Blues deal, looks certain to leave Portman Road this summer and says he would be interested in joining Millwall.

Lisbie said: "I’ve been told to train with the youth boys, although the manager has told me it’s nothing personal.

"I’m clearly not going to play at Ipswich and the manager has told me that if any club comes in for me then he’ll let me know.”

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett is considering a move for the 31-year-old and the switch would appeal to the former Jamaica international: "I’d definitely be interesting in going to Millwall — it’s a great club. Obviously they are in London and that’s an attraction so, all in all, I’d have no problems in moving there.”

Even the booing he received while playing against the Lions for Colchester last season doesn’t put him off: "Obviously they know me from Charlton and I’m sure they wouldn’t boo me if they didn’t think I was a good player! I just took it at face value and I’ve got no problem with that — it’s all part of the game.”

Meanwhile, Southampton midfielder Simon Gillett, who was interesting Town, has joined his former loan side Doncaster after his release by the Saints. The 24-year-old has signed a two-year deal.

Ex-Town midfielder Sammy Moore is on trial at AFC Wimbledon, although he could still stay with his current club Dover Athletic.
