Emmanuel Recalled From Shrews Loan - Ipswich Town News
Town have recalled right-back Josh Emmanuel from his loan spell at League One Shrewsbury.
Emmanuel, 21, has been with the Shrews since August, having spent the whole of the last campaign on loan at Rotherham United.
Shrewsbury manager Sam Ricketts told Shrewsweb Emmanuel couldn't be guaranteed regular football with the Shropshire side: "We agreed it would be better for him to go and play every week and we couldn't guarantee him that so we agreed to let him return to Ipswich. We wish him all the best in the future."
The academy product, who has been back training at Playford Road this week, made 18 starts and two sub appearances for the Shrews but last appeared in a League One match on December 22nd.
Emmanuel's last first-team appearance for the Blues was as a sub on the final day of the 2016/17 season as Town were beaten 3-0 at Nottingham Forest.
The Londoner, who was with West Ham's youth set-up before joining the Blues, is out of contract in the summer but with the Blues having an option to keep him for a further season.
