Moore and Emmanuel Could Join Rotherham - Ipswich Town News

Recently-relegated Rotherham United are understood to be keen on taking Town pair Kieffer Moore and Josh Emmanuel on loan.

Striker Moore, 24, joined the Blues in January on an 18-month deal from then-non-league Forest Green Rovers and made 11 sub appearances without scoring during the final months of the season.

The one-time Yeovil man looks some way off being a starter at Town and a spell at a club in League One where he would probably play more games may prove beneficial.

Similarly, academy product Emmanuel is not likely to feature in the Blues starting line-up at the start of the season with another right-back, Jordan Spence, having re-signed earlier in the summer and ought to benefit from a stint playing regularly elsewhere. The 19-year-old has made 19 starts and five sub appearances for the Town first team.

Earlier in the summer, the Blues targeted Rotherham striker Danny Ward, who subsequently joined Cardiff City in a £1.6 million move, with some reports suggesting Town players were offered to the South Yorkshire club as part of that potential deal.

However, it’s understood the loan interest in Moore and Emmanuel is currently ongoing.

The Town squad are back at Playford Road today for the start of pre-season training with manager Mick McCarthy speaking to the media at lunchtime.
