Alabi Leaves By Mutual Consent - Ipswich Town News
Striker James Alabi has left the Blues after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
The 21-year-old joined Town as a member of Mark Kennedy’s development squad having been released by Stoke in the summer, signing a one-year deal with an option for a second season.
His only first-team appearance was as a sub in the Capital One Cup tie at Doncaster in August in which he scored, giving him the unique Town records of netting a senior goal for the club without playing a game at Portman Road and making just one appearance and scoring in that game.
Before Christmas Alabi spent time on loan with Grimsby (pictured) in the Vanarama National League, making two starts and three sub appearances, scoring two FA Trophy goals.
