Marriott Set for Gillingham - Ipswich Town News
Blues striker Jack Marriott is set to join League One Gillingham on loan. The 19-year-old's spell with Skrill Premier Woking ended today with manager Mick McCarthy keen for the frontman to gain some Football League experience having scored nine goals in nine games for the Cards.
If the paperwork goes through in time, Marriott could make his debut for the Kent club in Friday's home game against Wolves.
Town right-back Elliott Hewitt is also on loan with the Gills and is understood to be around a week away from returning to match action after suffering an ankle injury which curtailed his spell at the Priestfield Stadium after only three games early last month.
