Carson Joins York - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Josh Carson has joined League Two York City on a month's loan. The 19-year-old hasn't featured for the Town first team since Mick McCarthy took over as boss.
The Minstermen are now managed by former Norwich boss Nigel Worthington, who handed Carson his full international debut during his time as Northern Ireland boss.
Carson, who is contracted until the summer of 2014 with an option for a further year, has made 18 starts and 15 sub appearances for the Blues, scoring five goals.
McCarthy has been keen to send Carson out on loan for a while and the academy graduate spent time on trial at Northampton earlier in the year.
Speaking in January, the Blues boss said: "I think he needs to go and play some football. He’s just a young lad learning his trade and travelling with us and training with us is not good enough for him, he needs to play.”

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
