Salford After Lankester on Loan - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands League Two Salford City want to sign Blues forward Jack Lankester on loan for the remainder of the season before tonight's deadline.

Lankester, 21, has slipped away from the first team picture in recent weeks as players have come back from injury and new additions Josh Harrop and Luke Thomas have been recruited on loan.

The Bury St Edmunds-based wideman or number 10 was on the bench at Crewe on Saturday but last started the 2-0 ome defeat to Portsmouth in mid-December.

Lankester has made seven starts and seven appearances for Town this season, scoring twice, having returned after missing the previous 20 months following two back operations.

In total, Lankester, who is contracted to Town until the summer of 2022 with the club having an option for a further season, has made 12 starts and 14 sub appearances for the Blues and has scored three times.
