Clark Joins Bury - Ipswich Town News

Released Blues midfielder Billy Clark has joined Ryman League Premier Division side Bury Town while he looks for a new professional club. The 19-year-old former academy scholar has spent time on trial with Sheffield United, Gillingham and Luton since leaving Portman Road at the end of last season when he infamously reacted angrily to the decision on Twitter.

Former Northgate High School pupil Clark made three first team appearances as a sub for the Blues, all at the end of the 2009/10 season.

Clark made his Bury debut in last night’s 3-1 Suffolk Premier Cup victory away at Walsham-le-Willows.

Meanwhile, Keith Andrews and Damien Delaney’s Republic of Ireland will face Estonia in the Euro 2012 play-offs.

The first leg will be in Estonia on November 11th or 12th, while the game in Dublin will be played on November 15th.

Elsewhere, ex-Canary Darren Huckerby has revealed that he was sounded out about joining the Blues after leaving Norwich: "There were a few options on the table in the summer of 2008.

"Neil Warnock’s Crystal Palace, Burnley and Hull all expressed an interest; someone at Ipswich contacted me too, although that was never going to happen, obviously.”
