Bolton Confirm Coleman Signing - Ipswich Town News
Bolton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of released Blues keeper Joel Coleman.
News that the 27-year-old was close to joining his hometown club first emerged yesterday.
Coleman, who left Rochdale last summer, signed for Town on a short-term deal in November after third-choice Nick Hayes picked up an injury playing for the U21s.
The former Oldham and Huddersfield man penned another deal which ran to the end of the season in January but was released in the summer without making a senior appearance, although having been on the first-team bench for the FA Cup games against Bracknell and Rotherham.
Elsewhere, ex-Town midfielder Ed Upson, 33, who scored the winning goal in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final, has joined Cole Skuse's Bury Town after leaving Stowmarket Town.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
