Jewell Will Look for Loanees - Ipswich Town News

Town manager Paul Jewell has confirmed that he’ll be looking to add to his squad when the ‘emergency loan window’ opens on Tuesday.

Jewell said: "What I want to try and do is improve the squad and give the players here help. We’re not the biggest squad in the world, but I’m not going to bring anyone in for the sake of it, I’ll only bring someone in if they help our cause and helps the lads that are already here.

"I don’t want to say to you that I’m definitely going to bring someone in in this position or that position, I’m just looking to try and improve all the time, like any manager.”

Having failed to land Charlie Austin last week, Jewell may target another striker, while a right-back could also be on the Blues’ boss’s wish-list.

Meanwhile, Town are amongst a number of clubs to have been mentioned in connection with former youth coach Terry Westley, who is expected to leave his job as academy director at Birmingham City.

Westley, who worked with the likes of Kieron Dyer, Richard Wright and James Scowcroft during his spell with the Blues, has also been linked with West Ham and Leeds.

After leaving Town, Westley worked as a youth coach at Luton - where he was also briefly first team manager - Wigan, Charlton, Rushden and Diamonds and Derby.

Town recently advertised for an assistant academy director to work under Sammy Morgan.
