Loanee Returns to Villa - Ipswich Town News

Loan winger Jordan Graham has announced that he has returned to his parent club Aston Villa. The 18-year-old was due to remain with the Blues until Saturday, although was unavailable for the FA Cup tie with Preston.

The former England U17 international tweeted: "Sad to announce my loan spell at Ipswich is over. It’s a great club and has helped me mature loads on and off the pitch.

"I honestly do hope they get promotion. I'm positive they will! But back to Villa for me! I've missed it, man!

"Thanks for all the support of both sets of fans. I couldn’t do it without you! And I wish you all a happy new year! God bless you all.”

Graham made sub appearances late on in the Huddersfield and Doncaster victories having joined Town at the end of November.
