Kit Man Beesley Moves On - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands Blues kit man Paul Beesley won’t be returning to the club for the new season.

Popular former Leeds, Wigan and Sheffield United defender Beesley, 49, was added to the Portman Road staff by his one-time Latics team-mate Paul Jewell in 2012 and remained at the club after Mick McCarthy took over, despite still being based in Sheffield.

We understand ex-Blues keeper James Pullen (pictured during his playing days with Town) will be taking on kit duties in addition to his role as masseur in the short-term, working with assistant kit man Ken Goody.
