Tabb Joins Town - Ipswich Town News
Reading have confirmed that midfielder Jay Tabb is to join the Blues on an initial one-month loan. News of Town’s interest in the 29-year-old former Ireland U21 international first broke yesterday.
The paperwork on the deal is expected to be completed on Friday with Tabb available for Saturday's trip to Peterborough.
Tabb is out of contract at the Madejski Stadium at the end of the season and has been told he will not be offered new terms.
The 5ft 7in tall Tooting-born midfielder hasn’t featured in the Premier League since December and was previously been mentioned in connection with a move to Blackburn.
The loan is understood to be with an eye on a full-time switch in the close season. The Blues recently signed Manchester United’s Reece Brown, who is also out of contract in the summer, on a similar basis.
