Coulson Linked With Posh Loan - Ipswich Town News

Blues loanee Hayden Coulson is reportedly set to join Championship Peterborough United on loan from Middlesbrough once his Town departure is confirmed.

TWTD revealed this morning that Coulson will be returning to Boro before today’s 11pm deadline and, according to the Daily Mail, he will then join Posh for the remainder of the campaign.

The 23-year-old has had an injury-hit spell with the Blues making only six appearances since signing in August.

The Gateshead-born full-back was expected to remain at Portman Road until the end of the season but his loan deal included the provision for his return to the Riverside during January.

Elsewhere, Neil Harris, who was interviewed for the Town manager's job in December, has been appointed the new manager of Gillingham, who are at Portman Road on Saturday.

Meanwhile, former Blues bosses Mick McCarthy and Paul Cook are among the names to have been linked with the manager's job at Sunderland, Lee Johnson having been sacked following Saturday's 6-0 hammering at Bolton Wanderers.

McCarthy was previously manager at the Stadium of Light between 2003 and 2006.
