Blues Again Linked With Austin - Ipswich Town News
Town are again being linked with a move for ex-Leeds United midfielder Rodolph Austin, who is currently away with Jamaica at the Gold Cup in the USA.
Austin, 30, was previously mentioned in connection with a loan move to the Blues in February, a report which was dismissed by boss Mick McCarthy.
Following his release by the Whites at the end of the season, the combative midfielder was again said to be interesting Town in May but that his wage demands had ended their interest.
Now, according to Transfer Centre Live, the Blues are heading a number of Championship clubs for Austin’s signature.
The midfielder has skippered Jamaica to the final of the Gold Cup against Mexico, which will be played at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
Austin started his career in his native Jamaica with Portmore United. He moved to Norwegian club Brann initially on loan in 2008 before joining permanently the following year.
After four years with the Bergen club 6ft tall Austin joined Leeds United in July 2012. He made 101 starts and 11 sub appearances for the Whites and scored 10 goals.
