Marriott Loan Confirmed as Hewitt Extends U's Stay - Ipswich Town News
Town have confirmed that Jack Marriott has joined Colchester United on loan for the rest of the season, as TWTD revealed yesterday, while Elliott Hewitt has extended his stay at the Weston Homes Community Stadium for a further month.
Marriott, 20, was recalled from his latest loan spell at Woking yesterday to join the League One U’s with the switch having been arranged as part of the deal which saw Freddie Sears join the Blues on Friday. Town can recall him at 24 hours' notice.
The Beverley-born striker, whose Town contract is up at the end of the season, has spent much of the last two seasons on loan in the Vanarama Conference with the Cards and has also had spells in the Football League with Gillingham and Carlisle.
Wales U21 international Hewitt, whose Town terms are also up in the summer, initially joined the U's in October and has now made 16 starts and has scored one goal.
The 20-year-old right-back or midfielder can also be recalled at 24 hours' notice.
