New loan signing Jay Tabb says he’d definitely be keen on joining the Blues on a permanent basis when his Reading contract is up in the summer. The 29-year-old, who will wear the number 18 shirt, is at Portman Road for an initial 28 days and is expected to make his debut on the left of midfield at Peterborough on Saturday.
Speaking in an interview with Ipswich Player, the former Republic of Ireland U21 international said: "I’m delighted to be here. Ipswich is always a club that I have enjoying playing at in my time with Coventry and now Reading.
"Mick McCarthy’s track record as a manager is really impressive and knowing what Ipswich is like as a club, it was a very easy decision to come here.
"I’m out of contract at Reading in the summer and it’s very unlikely that I will be staying there, so I’ll be looking for a new club and I’d definitely be keen on a move here.
"It’s up to me to prove myself to the manager, the players and the supporters and if I can do that, then hopefully something might get done.
"The priority at the moment though is to help get Ipswich up the table. It’s a massive game to start with at Peterborough tomorrow and I can’t wait to get going.”
