Drinan Rejoins Waterford on Loan - Ipswich Town News

Town striker Aaron Drinan has rejoined Waterford on loan until June 30th with the Irish season about to get under way.

The 20-year-old moved to the Blues from the League of Ireland side in his native Ireland in January 2018 but hasn’t made a first-team appearance despite having been on the bench on five occasions under Mick McCarthy.

"I'm delighted to be back at the club. I really enjoyed my time here before, I scored six or seven goals last time I think and I can't wait to get started again," Drinan said.

"As soon as I heard [manager] Alan [Reynolds] and the club were interested, I wanted to come back straight away; I jumped at the chance.

"I've met some of the squad since I got in and I'm looking forward to meeting the others. Friday is a big game for the club [League of Ireland Premier Division opener at home to Shamrock Rovers] and I'm looking forward to being back at the RSC again."

Drinan, who spent last week with the Irish U21s squad, was on loan at Sutton United earlier in the season.

Waterford, who will be in 2019/20's Europa League, the first time they have played in Europe since 1986, are skippered by ex-Blues defender Damien Delaney.
