Trialists Have Left Club - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Paul Jewell has confirmed that all three trialists who joined the Blues for the pre-season tour of Holland have left the club. Slovakian international keeper Marian Kello and French pair Plaisir Bahamboula, a left winger, and Soualio Bakayoko (pictured), a left-back, were involved in Town's games against Helmond Sport and Den Bosch.
Jewell thought former Hearts man Kello did well but says he has offers from clubs in Turkey where he will play more regularly: "He went to Holland with us and we only had one goalkeeper at the time.
"I was quite impressed with him but he’s got other offers to go and play guaranteed first team football. I don’t know [whether that will go any further].
"We haven’t kept any of the other trialists. They came and showed great attitude. Plaisir Bahamboula went back after Holland and Soualio Bakayoko played last night and got a thigh strain. Great attitude, but at the moment we’re not taking them any further.”
