Marriott Joins Carlisle on Loan - Ipswich Town News
Striker Jack Marriott has joined League Two Carlisle United on a month’s loan. The 19-year-old frontman spent much of last season on loan in the Conference with Woking.
Boss Mick McCarthy said: "Jack Marriott has gone out on loan to Carlisle for a month. He needs to play some football, like the others, and we’ve got the other guys in.
"Plus when we have the two-week break they’ll have games and he can still be playing in that. Let’s hope he gets some games.”
Cheltenham Town boss Mark Yates has revealed that he also hoped to sign Marriott on loan: "The one we moved onto yesterday we think is joining Carlisle, a centre forward from Ipswich, a young lad, so I think we’ve missed out there.”
Coincidentally, Marriott may make his Carlisle debut at Cheltenham on Tuesday with the sides set to meet at Whaddon Road.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
