Town Confirm Bree Loan Signing - Ipswich Town News
Town have confirmed the loan signing of Aston Villa right-back James Bree for the remainder of the season.
News that Town were targeting the former Barnsley man broke earlier this afternoon with manager Paul Lambert remaining tight-lipped at his press conference when quizzed about the Wakefield-born defender. TWTD subsequently revealed that he was at Portman Road.
Bree, who wil wear the Town number 41 shirt, has made only eight Championship appearances for Villa this season having joined them from the Tykes in January 2017. He is contracted until the summer of 2021.
Bree’s recruitment could see on-loan Everton defender Matthew Pennington leave the Blues to join Derby on loan for the second half of the season with a view to the move being turned into a permanent switch in the summer.
Meanwhile, ex-Blues left-back Tyrone Mings has joined Villa on loan for the rest of the season from AFC Bournemouth.
