McCarthy: Rowe Can Go Out on Loan in January - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy says winger Danny Rowe will be allowed to move out on loan during the transfer window in order to play first-team games and should use Kieffer Moore, who is currently enjoying a highly successful spell at Rotherham, as his role model.
Rowe, 25, who was signed from Vanarama National League Macclesfield in January, has made two Championship sub appearances this season in addition to his one start in the Carabao Cup tie at Crystal Palace.
Overall, the former Stockport County and Barrow wideman, who is currently sidelined with a minor knock, has made three starts and four sub appearances for the Blues in all competitions.
Moore has scored 13 goals in 17 league starts and one sub appearance for the Millers and is the top scorer in the top four divisions in England. McCarthy has said he will curtail the striker's loan and call him back to Portman Road in January.
"Danny needs to go and play games, a bit like Kieffer,” McCarthy said. "He will be somebody who can go out on loan in the new year, in the window.
"He still has a future here, and I can say that with confidence bearing in mind Kieffer. I was probably sat here at the start of the season and said, ‘Yes, he’s still got a role to play at this club, he needs to go out and play games’.
"If he has the impact that Kieffer’s had at maybe a League One club or a League Two club, he’ll come back with far more confidence and he can contribute.”
