Nolan Joins Bristol Rovers - Ipswich Town News
Departed Blues midfielder Jon Nolan has joined League Two Bristol Rovers.
The 29-year-old left Town yesterday after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
Nolan joined the Blues along with team-mate Toto Nsiala from Shrewsbury in the summer of 2018, following their former Shrews manager Paul Hurst to Portman Road.
In total, he made 59 starts and 11 sub appearances for the Blues, scoring 10 goals, most recently featuring in the 1-0 home defeat by Sunderland in January last year. Soon afterwards, he was relegated to training with the U23s by then-manager Paul Lambert.
The Liverpudlian picked up a knee injury in training on his successor Paul Cook’s first day at the club and suffered a calf problem in pre-season and then a further setback in the autumn.
