New Town loan signing Kieron Dyer says now is the perfect time to return to the Blues on loan. The 32-year-old has joined Town for a month and is set to make his debut at Leeds tomorrow.
Dyer said: "They say 'never go back' but I've been getting itchy feet about coming here the last few years and when the opportunity came up to come back on loan, it was the perfect time.
"I had Craig Bellamy on the phone trying to get me to go to Cardiff but Ipswich is a special club for me and it was no contest.
"I'm here for a month to play football, help the team move up the table and hopefully help the younger players as well.
"I've not played much football over the last few weeks, so I'm not 100 per cent match fit yet but general fitness has never really been a problem for me and I'm looking forward to my time here.
"Leeds are doing well at the moment and I'm sure it will be fantastic atmosphere there. It will be a big crowd, a big game and I can't wait to get going." Photo: ITFCWhat to read next:
