Midfielder Stephen Gleeson won’t be the only new addition in the Blues squad travelling to Bolton for Saturday’s match at the Macron Stadium.
Another loan signing, understood to be a central defender, is at the club completing the formalities relating to his move. Both signings are set to be announced on Friday morning.
Town are in the market for another centre-half with Tommy Smith set to join the Colorado Rapids.
Brighton’s Connor Goldson has been the player expected to join to facilitate Smith’s move, the 25-year-old having come close to signing for Town on deadline day in August.
Quizzed on the situation with Goldson earlier today, manager Mick McCarthy wouldn’t comment.
Elsewhere, former Blue Shane O’Connor, 27, has joined Longford Town from Waterford in his native Ireland.
