Bouzin Returns to France - Ipswich Town News

French trialist Youhan Bouzin has left Portman Road to return to Lorient. He was unable to play in the reserve game last night as the Blues were unable to get clearance for him, however he has trained with the squad and, although he impressed Joe Royle, he is not an immediate target.

The Town boss said of the 28-year-old: "He's done well, he's going back to Lorient. We now know about him and he could be available in the future.”

”He was never going to be someone who was going to come here and stay here, it was just a case of having a look at him. We've been very pleased with him and he's done well.

"He's a left-side midfield player, direct cover for Jamie Clapham if you like. We just wanted to see him and to be prepared if anything was required. If something were to happen in the next ten days that meant we needed his kind of player, he's done well enough to say that we would consider him, but at the moment we're not taking anyone.”
