Carson at Bristol City - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Josh Carson is on trial with League One Bristol City, TWTD understands. On Saturday, manager Mick McCarthy revealed that the 20-year-old Northern Irish international would be spending time at another club this week but kept their identity under wraps.

Carson, who has a year left on his Town contract, could play for the Robins' U21s in a pre-season friendly at Weston-Super-Mare this evening in which ex-Blues loanee Marlon Harewood is also set to take part.

The academy product failed to make an appearance for the Blues after McCarthy took over as boss last November and spent time on loan at York City before suffering a foot injury towards the end of the season.

Coincidentally, Carson scored probably his best goal for Town against Bristol City at Ashton Gate in April 2011 as a 10-man Blues side ran out 1-0 winners.

This summer has seen a number of players move between Town and the Robins. Cole Skuse and Dean Gerken have joined the Blues on Bosman free transfers, while Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Paul Anderson were involved in a swap deal.

Meanwhile, Town have announced that new loan signing Ryan Tunnicliffe will wear the number 16 shirt.
