Marriott to Rejoin Woking After Gills Recall - Ipswich Town News

Town have recalled striker Jack Marriott from his loan spell at Gillingham. Marriott is now set to return to Skrill Premier Woking, where he scored nine goals in nine games during a previous loan spell, for the remainder of the season.

The 19-year-old made only one brief sub appearance for the League One side - in last Friday's 2-1 defeat at Brentford - and Gills boss Peter Taylor says lack of football is the reason the spell has been curtailed.

"The lad wants to play first team games and unfortunately I can’t guarantee him that," he said. "Jack is a good kid and we wish him all the best.”

Marriott tweeted: "Really enjoyed my short time at [Gillingham], great bunch of lads there and a terrific club. I wish them all the best!

"Delighted to be heading back to Woking also, great club and looking forward to playing some games!"

The former academy scholar's only first team experience with the Blues so far came as a sub at Burnley on the final day of last season.

Town right-back Elliott Hewitt remains at the Priestfield Stadium and boss Mick McCarthy has said he's happy for him to stay there for the rest of the campaign to get senior games under his belt.

Freddie Veseli is at Bury and McCarthy has said the Swiss U21 international can remain with the League Two side beyond his initial one-month spell.
