O\'Dea Had No Hesitation - Ipswich Town News
New loan signing Darren O’Dea says he that once he knew of Town’s interest in him he had no hesitation in making the move to Portman Road. The Irish international has joined the Blues from Celtic until January.
The 23-year-old said: "Once I knew of the interest it was just a matter of getting it done. My main aim is to get in the squad for Saturday and any chance I get from there I’ll take. My full focus is on helping this team up the league.”
O’Dea, who spent time with Reading last season, says he will be out to show Town what he can do in the next few months: "At Reading I wanted to do that with a return to Celtic in mind. Now my aim is to as well as I can at Ipswich and let other teams take care of themselves.
"There have been massive changes at Celtic with the manager bringing in a number of players who I would expect him to favour to play. I’m hungry and I want to play every week and the only club I want to impress is Ipswich.”
