Town Linked With Pitman - Ipswich Town News
Town are amongst a number of clubs said to be eyeing Bournemouth striker Brett Pitman. The Blues, Blackpool, Doncaster, Swansea, Watford and QPR are all believed to be tracking the 22-year-old.
Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell has denied reports that Blackpool have already made a £400,000 offer for the Jersey-born frontman, but admits that there have been enquiries and that plenty of scouts watched Pitman net a hat-trick in Saturday’s 5-1 hammering of Peterborough.
The 6ft tall striker made his debut for the Cherries in 2005, having joined Bournemouth at 16 after playing youth football for Jersey side St Pauls. Since then he has scored 62 goals in 115 starts and 82 sub appearances, including 28 last season as Bournemouth won promotion to League One.
Meanwhile, former Town academy and reserves midfielder Jai Reason has signed a one-year deal with Blue Square Premier side Crawley Town having been released by Cambridge United at the end of last season.
