Town boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed that Bolton winger Liam Feeney will be joining the Blues on loan for the rest of the season on Thursday.
"He’s at Ipswich, I’ve just seen him, we’ll be signing him on Thursday, it’ll be done,” McCarthy confirmed.
The Blues boss was very impressed with the 29-year-old’s performance against Town for Bolton last week.
"I’d never seen him play up front before but I thought he was different class last Tuesday, I thought he played really well,” he added.
"He can play either side, he’s got real pace, he can stretch the team, stretch the pitch and he’s an experienced Championship player, so that’s a good one for us that.”
Feeney, who is out of contract in the summer, impressed against the Blues during last week’s 2-2 draw at the Macron Stadium.
He started his career in non-league with Hayes and then Salisbury, moving on to Southend (loan), Bournemouth, Millwall, Bolton (loan) and Blackburn (loan) before joining the Trotters on a permanent deal in May 2014.
Feeney's departure may in part have triggered former Trotters' manager Neil Lennon's exit earlier today.
Lennon was reportedly told that the winger - amongst others - was set to move on at a meeting today and the Northern Irishman subsequently left the club by mutual consent.
