Pratley Still in Bolton Talks - Ipswich Town News
Bolton Wanderers say they are continuing to hold talks with out-of-contract midfielder Darren Pratley, who has been linked with the Blues on social media in recent days.
Rumours that the 30-year-old free agent was set to join Town began circulating on Thursday with one source even erroneously claiming that the former Fulham, Brentford (loan) and Swansea man was due at the club to undergo a medical yesterday.
However, while Pratley wouldn’t be an entirely unlikely summer Town target, the current claims would appear to be purely speculative with the Bolton News reporting that a Trotters spokesman has confirmed that discussions regarding a new Wanderers contract are ongoing, although a source close to the player recently suggested that those talks had hit a stumbling block.
Meanwhile, former Town midfielder Jack Collison has joined League One Peterborough United on a one-year deal.
The Wales international, 26, signed a short-term deal with the Blues last September but was unable to make a senior appearance due to injury and moved on in January.
Collison, who was previously with Posh as a schoolboy, could face Town in pre-season with the Blues at London Road on Saturday 25th July (KO 3pm).
