Collins Still Training With Town - Ipswich Town News
Former West Ham central defender James Collins is continuing to train with the Blues.
As TWTD revealed, the 35-year-old free agent joined up with the Town squad last week and took part in training for a couple of days.
Collins returned to Playford Road earlier today but with no decision yet made on whether he will be joining the Blues.
Despite the transfer window being closed, clubs are still able to sign players who are free agents.
Aston Villa were linked with the former Wales international, who was previously with them between 2009 and 2012, last week, while The Telegraph claimed over the weekend that Collins has been waiting to see whether the Midlanders firm up their interest.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
