Winger Stewart Undergoing Medical - Ipswich Town News

Winger Cameron Stewart is reported to be undergoing a medical at Town having apparently severed his ties with Leeds United, who he was previously due to join on a permanent basis following a loan. Last week, TWTD reported that the Blues and Charlton were eyeing the 23-year-old’s situation.

Stewart joined the Whites on loan from Hull in January when he also agreed a three-year permanent contract which would be formalised today.

However, with manager Brian McDermott having moved on and the club now under new owner Massimo Cellino, Leeds were keen to extricate themselves from the arrangement, something they now appear to have done with Sky Sports reporting that Stewart, now a free agent, is at Town having a medical.

The Blues were mentioned in connection with a move for Stewart last summer and then again in January.

Stewart, who was linked with Leicester over the weekend, began his career with hometown club Manchester United during which time he went on loan to Yeovil and Hull before moving to the KC Stadium on a permanent basis in January 2011.

Having been on loan at Burnley and Blackburn during 2012/13, the former England U17, U19 and U20 international spent the first half of last season on loan with Charlton before making his move to Leeds in January with his Tigers contract officially up yesterday.
