Bakinson Training With Bristol City U23s After Town Fail to Take Option - Ipswich Town News

Former Blues loanee Tyreeq Bakinson is training with Bristol City’s U23s, Town having decided not to make the midfielder’s move a permanent switch.

Bakinson, 23, spent the second half of last season on loan at Portman Road, scoring twice in 14 starts and three sub appearances.

The move, which followed criticism of the one-time Luton youngster by Robins manager Nigel Pearson, was with a view to the deal becoming permanent in the summer but earlier this month Town instead signed Dom Ball following his release by QPR.

"He’s here but he’s not training with us at the moment,” Pearson told BristolLive when asked about Bakinson’s situation.

"Ipswich have decided that they don’t want to take their option on him, so we’ll be looking to try and find a solution to that.”

Bakinson has a year left on his contract at Ashton Gate, the Robins having taken up an option for a further season in November last year while he was in their first team.
