Simpson on Trial at Swindon - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands Blues striker Tyreece Simpson is on trial with League Two Swindon Town with a view to joining the Robins on loan.
The 19-year-old has made four League One sub appearances for the Blues, as well as two EFL Trophy starts and one game from the bench in that competition, so far without scoring.
A move out on loan looks like the obvious next step for the powerful frontman, who was offered a contract by rugby union side Leicester Tigers prior to joining Town’s youth set-up as a scholar in 2018.
Simpson is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2022 with the club having an option for a further season.
Swindon are currently subject to a transfer embargo, however, following their recent takeover, they expect to be able to sign players soon.
Town centre-half Luke Woolfenden spent 2018/19 on loan at the County Ground.
