Bramble Still Training With Town - Ipswich Town News
Former Blue Titus Bramble is still training at Playford Road as he continues his rehabilitation from a cartilage operation, and manager Mick McCarthy doesn’t entirely rule out the 32-year-old rejoining his hometown club.
Bramble, who was released by Sunderland at the end of last season, came back to Town on trial in the summer but after Christophe Berra joined the Blues was expected to join a club in Turkey until a knee injury scuppered that proposed deal.
"His situation is that he’s still rehabbing from his cartilage operation,” McCarthy said on Thursday. "He trained today with [Mark Kennedy’s development squad].
"He’s just training and until he’s fit he’s not going to make any decisions, I’ve had that discussion with him.
"He wants to get himself fit. And, of course, he can go anywhere. It doesn’t matter [about transfer windows], he’s a free agent, so he can do what he wants.”
Might a return to Town be something he’ll look at once Bramble is fully fit? "It’s down to Titus. It’s down to what he and his agent will want to do, not what I want to do.”
