Town Linked With Move For Free Agent Dawkins - Ipswich Town News
Town reportedly could make a move for free agent winger Simon Dawkins, who left MLS side the San Jose Earthquakes in February.
According to The Sun, Blues boss Paul Lambert could take the 31-year-old on a free transfer as he looks to augment his squad.
Dawkins came through the academy at Tottenham and spent spells on loan with Leyton Orient, the Earthquakes, Aston Villa and Derby while a player at White Hart Lane.
In January 2014 the Edgeware-born left-sided wideman was sold to Derby for £500,000 without having broken into the Spurs first team.
Two years later, the 19-times-capped Jamaica international moved back to the Earthquakes in January 2016 but left this February.
Dawkins subsequently came close to joining Minnesota United and then spent time on trial with League One sides Charlton and Luton in the summer but wasn’t offered terms by either club.
Another winger with Championship experience may well be on Blues manager Lambert's wish list as he looks to add to his squad ahead of the second half of the season.

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.
