Bakinson Joins Owls - Ipswich Town News
Former Blues loanee Tyreeq Bakinson has completed his move from Bristol City to Sheffield Wednesday.
Bakinson, 23, who joins the Owls for an undisclosed fee, 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.
However, the Blues subsequently signed Dominic Ball following his release by QPR, which appeared to end Town’s interest, although manager Kieran McKenna subsequently suggested Bakinson could still be in his thoughts after the friendly at Needham Market.
Bakinson had been training with the Robins’ U23s and hasn’t featured in any of their pre-season friendlies.
