Woody Close to Rotherham Move - Ipswich Town News
Blues midfielder Anthony Wordsworth is understood to be close to joining League One Rotherham United on loan.
The 25-year-old’s opportunities have been limited since joining the Blues from Colchester a year ago and this season he has made only two fleeting substitute appearances.
Before the November deadline, the Londoner came close to joining Saturday’s FA Cup opponents Preston North End on loan but the clubs were unable to agree a deal with the MK Dons, former club Colchester and others understood to have been monitoring his situation.
Speaking this morning, Millers boss Steve Evans told the Rotherham club site that he was close to making some additions to his squad: "The window is open and we are close with one or two deals.
"I can’t say too much about what is happening at the moment but as soon as anything is confirmed I will let the fans know. It promises to be a busy couple of days.”
