Town Among Clubs Linked With Livingston Keeper - Ipswich Town News

Town are among a number of clubs reported to be keeping tabs on Livingston keeper Liam Kelly, who is available for a knockdown fee this summer.

According to the Scottish Sun, Kelly, 23, has a clause in the two-year contract he signed last June which will allow him to move on for £50,000.

As a result, clubs including Bundesliga 2 side Hamburg, Celtic, Town, Wigan, Barnsley and Reading are all said to be interested in Kelly, who has enjoyed an impressive season for thre Scottish Premiership side.

Glasgow-born Kelly came through the youth ranks at Rangers but never made a first-team appearance while at Ibrox.

The 6ft 2½in tall keeper, who has won Scotland caps at U16, U17, U19 and U21 levels and was called into the senior squad for the first time in March without making his debut, spent time on loan at East Fife and then Livingston before making his move to the latter permanent last summer.

Town could well be on the lookout for another goalkeeper during the close season with Dean Gerken out of contract as things stand, although the club has an option to keep him for a further season, while Bartosz Bialkowski could be targeted by Championship sides despite his disappointing campaign.
