Barnsley Youngster Joins On Loan - Ipswich Town News

Town have signed 20-year-old Barnsley central midfielder Paul Digby on loan until the end of the season. He has joined the squad for the trip to Burnley but is ineligible for today's game.

Sheffield-born Digby came through the ranks at Oakwell and won their Most Promising Academy Player award in 2008.

Digby made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in September 2011 and has gone on to make 11 starts and 14 sub appearances for the Tykes. His only games this season were one League One start and two matches from the bench in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.

Capped by England at U19 and U20 levels, 6ft 4in tall Digby, who can also play at right-back, spent time on trial with Manchester United earlier this year. He is contracted until the summer of 2017.

Meanwhile, full-back Jonny Parr is interesting Strømsgodset and other clubs back in his native Norway, according to reports in Scandinavia.

The 27-year-old's contract with Town is up at the end of the season.
