Bent Sets Target - Ipswich Town News

Young striker Darren Bent has set himself a target of 15 goals for the season ahead. The England U19 international more than achieved his targets last season and will hope to surpass them in a similar fashion this time around.

Last year he targeted 20 goals for the reserves and ended up with 21, in addition to scoring for the young England side and twice for the first team.

Bent said: "I believe in setting targets and feel that 15 for the season from me is reasonable."
