Former Blackburn, Gillingham and Aberdeen keeper Jason Brown has revealed that he is joining the Blues.
Brown, who was previously unattached and has joined the club on a short-term deal until the end of the season, tweeted: "I can let it out the bag now all signed off and I'm very happy and proud to announce that I am officially an Ipswich Town player.”
The 30-year-old, who has been capped three times by Wales at full level, was born in London and started his career as a youth player with Charlton before making his name with the Gills, where he played 137 games between 2001 and 2006.
Brown, who will wear the Town number 13 shirt and has been training with the squad this week, moved on to Blackburn, signing a four-year deal, but made only 12 starts and four sub appearances while at Ewood Park, during which time he spent stints on loan at Saturday's opponents Leeds, Leyton Orient and Cardiff.
In the summer of 2011 he joined Aberdeen, where he made 22 starts and one sub appearance before leaving in January to look for a club in England.
Town adding a third senior keeper to their ranks is no surprise with West Ham having recalled Stephen Henderson from his loan last week after their second-choice Raphael Spiegel broke a finger while on international duty with Switzerland’s U21s.
Scott Loach impressed manager Mick McCarthy during his spell in the side before picking up a thumb injury and it may well be that the former Watford man gets the nod against Leeds on Saturday.
Today is the final day that Football League clubs are able to sign players on loan, but with six domestic loanees already in the squad - Reece Brown, David McGoldrick, Aaron Mclean, Patrick Kisnorbo, Richard Stearman and Jay Tabb - it's unlikely that the Blues will make any further additions.
