Murray Rejoins Swindon - Ipswich Town News

Striker Ronan Murray has rejoined Swindon Town on loan for the rest of the season. The Robins had been keen to sign the Irish U21 international on a permanent basis after he impressed during a three-month loan at the County Ground before Christmas.

Manager Paul Jewell says he weighed up whether to accept Swindon’s bid but ultimately decided against it: "I was considering the offer but I considered it again and decided to give him a new contract.

"He’s gone back on loan to Swindon and I think that will really help his development. I’m all for younger players going out on loan.”

Murray is understood to be close to putting pen to paper on the additional one-year deal which was offered earlier in the week.
