Reading Keeper on Town Wish List - Ipswich Town News
Town are understood to be interested in taking Reading keeper Alex McCarthy on loan for the remainder of the season. The 22-year-old recently returned from a similar spell at Leeds United.
Manager Paul Jewell has previously said that the Blues are keen on signing an additional glovesman to compete with Arran Lee-Barrett and Richard Wright, former loanee David Stockdale having been recalled by Fulham last month.
Guildford-born 6ft 4in-tall England U21 cap McCarthy came through the Royals’ youth system and has had prior loan spells at Woking, Cambridge United, Team Bath, Aldershot Town, Yeovil Town and Brentford in addition to Leeds.
