Anderson Training With Scunthorpe - Ipswich Town News

Released Blues midfielder Paul Anderson is training with League One Scunthorpe United.

Anderson, who celebrates his 27th birthday today, has clarified reports that he is on trial with the Iron, tweeting that he is only training with the Lincolnshire side.

Also just training at Scunthorpe United not on trial as I need to make sure I get some football under my belt before the coming season 👍🏼– Paul Anderson (@P18NDO) July 23, 2015

Anderson, who celebrates his 27th birthday today, was told no contract was on offer at Town at the end of the season but that a deal might be on the table later in the summer.

However, no new terms were forthcoming and the former Hull City, Liverpool and Bristol City man remains without a club.

Fulham and Wigan both showed interest in the winger, who scored Town’s goal in the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Norwich City, and Birmingham were linked, while he turned down an offer from Charlton earlier in the summer.
