Murray Joins Plymouth as Carson and Scotland Also Set for Moves - Ipswich Town News

Manager Mick McCarthy has revealed that striker Ronan Murray is joining League Two Plymouth Argyle on loan until the end of the season, while midfielder Josh Carson is also set to move out for a temporary spell.

McCarthy said: "They’ll both be going out on loan, Ronan’s going out on loan, he’s on his way down to Plymouth at the moment.

"With Josh, there are a couple of clubs who would like to take him, we’ll wait and see what happens.”

Irish U21 international Murray is out of contract at the end of the season, while Northern Ireland full international Carson is contracted until 2014 with the option of a further year.

Meanwhile, McCarthy confirmed that striker Jason Scotland will be allowed to move during the transfer window: "Jason is likely to be going somewhere. He’s been fabulous, Jason, he’s such a lovely character and a nice man, he’s been great around the place.

"But we’re going younger and hungrier, I guess, and unfortunately Jason’s missing out. But he understands and he’d like to go and play football somewhere in the twilight of his career.”

Wolves, Brighton and Preston are all understood to be interested in the 33-year-old former Trinidad and Tobago international but McCarthy says no deal is yet in place with any party.
