Seaborne With Blues at Shelbourne - Ipswich Town News
Former Southampton defender Dan Seaborne is with the Blues in Ireland and is amongst the subs for today's friendly at Shelbourne which kicks off at 5pm.
The 26-year-old was linked with Town in May after his release by the Saints. AFC Bournemouth, where he spent time on loan last season, were also said to be interested.
Manager Mick McCarthy isn't at the game as he has a prior engagement in the UK, so Terry Connor is in charge of the side.
Skipper Carlos Edwards is also missing as he's with Trinidad and Tobago at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the US, while striker Paul Taylor didn't make the trip as he is taking his recovery from his foot injury steadily, along with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, whose move to Bristol City is still under discussion.
Keeper Dean Gerken is also with the squad and will play the second half, along with centre-half Seaborne.
Town first half: Loach, Hewitt, Cresswell, Chambers, Mings, Skuse, Timlin, Wordsworth, Nouble, Chopra, Carson.
Town second half: Gerken, Hammond, Smith, Seaborne, October, Lawrence, Hyam, Berkane, McGoldrick, Tabb, Murphy.
