Drinan on Trial at Sutton United - Ipswich Town News
Blues striker Aaron Drinan played for Sutton United in their 1-0 friendly victory over Norwich City’s U23s yesterday afternoon.
The 20-year-old frontman came on as a half-time sub and is on trial with the Vanarama National League side with a view to joining them on loan.
Drinan moved to the Blues from Waterford in his native Ireland in January and is yet to make a first team appearance despite having been on the bench on five occasions.
