McKendry and Webber Join Braintree on Loan - Ipswich Town News
Young Blues duo Conor McKendry and Pat Webber have joined Vanarama National League South side Braintree Town on a month's loan.
Northern Ireland U21 call-up McKendry has been in fine form for the U23s and hit four goals in the 6-0 home victory over Coventry in December.
The 19-year-old winger is yet to make a senior appearance for the Blues but has been on the bench for the first team, while defender Webber, 18, made his full debut in the Carabao Cup tie at Crystal Palace in August.
As with previous loans to National League clubs, if their initial spells progress well, they are likely to be extended on a month by month basis.
