Alabi Joins Chester - Ipswich Town News
Former Town striker James Alabi has joined Vanarama National League side Chester, having left the Blues by mutual consent yesterday.
Alabi, who was with Grimsby on loan before Christmas, has signed a contract until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old is set to make his debut at Braintree Town - with whom Town keeper Michael Crowe is on loan - on Saturday.
Alabi joined the Blues 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 making just one appearance and scoring in that single game and netting a senior goal for the club without playing a game at Portman Road.
While with Grimsby (pictured) Alabi made two starts and three sub appearances, scoring two FA Trophy goals.
