Town Sign Former Trialist Spence - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced the signing of former West Ham and MK Dons right-back Jordan Spence on a contract to the end of the season. The 26-year-old was on trial with the Blues in September and October when he featured for the U23s matches at Bolton and at home to Liverpool.

Free agent Spence was released by the MK Dons last summer having joined them initially on loan in 2013 from West Ham where he came through the youth ranks.

While with the Hammers the Londoner also had spells on loan at Leyton Orient, Scunthorpe, Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday.

Spence was capped by England at U16, U17, U18, U19 and U21 levels.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Delighted to have joined @Official_ITFC & looking forward to this new challenge #itfc

Following his trial with the Blues, Spence had similar spells with Rotherham United and Birmingham City.

The new signing, who trained with the squad this morning, is not available for Tuesday's FA Cup third round replay at Lincoln as he wasn't a Town player for the initial tie.
