No Deal for Thomas, Crowe Can Stay With Braintree - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy says he currently has no plans to offer on-trial winger Jerome Thomas a contract. TWTD revealed that the 32-year-old former Arsenal, Charlton, West Brom and Crystal Palace man was training at the club last week but he has now moved on.
"I won’t be doing anything with him at the moment, he’s a free agent anyway, so if there’s anything I need to do [I can do it whenever],” McCarthy said. "He’s gone home.”
With the injured Dean Gerken expected to be fit ahead of the Hull City match two weeks next Tuesday, McCarthy says he has no plans to bring keeper Michael Crowe back from Braintree, with his first month with the Iron up.
"We can now put him on a 28-day loan with a 24-hour recall,” he added. "If they want him that is what I will do but then if we have an emergency we can call him back.”
Braintree boss Danny Cowley is keen to keep Wales U21 call-up Crowe at Cressing Road.
"The game against Welling [on Tuesday] was the last of Michael’s one-month loan deal, but we have spoken to Ipswich about it," he told the Colchester Daily Gazette. "So we are hoping to extend it and we are seeing what they have to say.”
