Town Amongst Clubs Watching Carlisle Striker - Ipswich Town News
Town are amongst a number of clubs to have sent scouts to watch Carlisle striker Rory Loy, according to a report in Cumbria. The 23-year-old former Scotland U21 international netted a memorable goal for his side in their FA Cup victory over non-league Alfreton at the weekend.
Born in Dumfries, Loy grew up in Stranraer and having spent time with Kilmarnock as a youngster joined Rangers in 2007.
While at Ibrox the 5ft 10in tall frontman went on loan to Dunfermline and St Mirren. Having made two sub appearances for the Glasgow side, Loy moved on to his current club on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee in January.
Since then he has made 20 starts and 18 sub appearances, scoring four goals, three this season. The pacy striker’s performances with the League One club are said to have caught the eye of several Championship clubs, Town apparently amongst them.
Carlisle, who are managed by Greg Abbott a team-mate of Paul Jewell's at Bradford, say that as yet no one has approached them regarding Loy, who is contracted until the summer of 2013.
