Murray on Target for Swindon - Ipswich Town News

Striker Ronan Murray netted the second goal of his loan spell at Swindon as the Robins beat Morecambe 3-0 at the County Ground.

The Irishman, who is with Paolo Di Canio's club for a month, netted in the 76th minute having come on as a sub 20 minutes earlier.

Elsewhere, Andy Drury's 93-day loan with Crawley ended with a 1-1 draw at Crewe, the Blues midfielder providing the cross for Matt Tubbs’s goal.

The 28-year-old went through his entire spell without being on the losing side, making 15 starts and scoring four goals.

Drury will return to Town this week with the clubs set to hold talks regarding a permanent switch to the Broadfield Stadium.

Shane O'Connor is yet to feature for his loan side Port Vale, while Town’s other on-loan player, striker Tamás Priskin, watched today’s match between the Blues and Derby from the Portman Road directors’ box as he was unable to play for the Rams under the terms agreed when he moved to Pride Park last month.
