Rotherham Keen to Sign Hyam on Loan - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that Championship strugglers Rotherham United are keen on signing Blues midfielder Luke Hyam on a month’s loan.
On Friday, Town boss Mick McCarthy revealed that he wants to send the 24-year-old out for a short spell in order to play games having been sidelined since January due to a knee injury which eventually required surgery in the summer.
Hyam, who returned to action for the U21s in Friday’s 1-1 draw at QPR, is very much in McCarthy’s long-term plans but is unlikely to play first-team games for Town as he continues his recovery with plenty of other central midfield options available to the Blues manager.
"If he comes back having had all the time out and gets fit and then he doesn’t play and he travels with us and he doesn’t play, travels with us and doesn’t play again, he loses all the benefit of all his rehab,” McCarthy said.
"If we can put him out for a month, which I think we probably can, and he’s happy to do it, then that’s what will happen.”
Football League clubs have until Thursday at 5pm to sign players via the emergency loan facility.
Speaking on Friday, McCarthy said that he had no plans to add to his squad before the deadline, while he was also open to the likes of Josh Emmanuel and Myles Kenlock going out on loan to gain experience.
