Wordsworth Joins Rotherham - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Anthony Wordsworth has joined Rotherham United on loan until January. Yesterday, boss Mick McCarthy made the 25-year-old available for loan or permanent transfer.
Millers boss Steve Evans told their official site: "I am delighted that we have been able to bring Anthony Wordsworth to New York Stadium.
"He was a lad that we tried to sign on a few occasions last season but on every occasion we got close he was then back in Mick McCarthy’s first team so it never became a reality.
"The lad will bring a nice balance to our midfield area, he is naturally left-sided with a sweet left peg and can play on the left or centrally should the need arise.
"He is a talented boy who will come straight into contention for tomorrow’s tough match away at Millwall.
"It was important that if I added to the squad that I brought a player in who was with us for some time, and not just a few weeks.”
Wordsworth joined Town from Colchester in January 2013 for a fee of £100,000 but has never established himself as a regular in the side, making only 10 starts and 10 sub appearances, scoring twice.
The midfielder, who is out of contract at the end of the season, joins fellow loanee Paul Taylor and former Blues Scott Loach, Paul Green and Frazer Richardson at the New York Stadium.
