U21s centre-half Jacob Mazionis has joined Vanarama National League Woking on loan for the rest of the season.
Mazionis, 18, joined Town from the London-based Kinetic Academy in May 2023 and has been a regular in the U21s even since, skippering John McGreal’s side this season.
Previously with the West Ham and Arsenal academies and having had a spell with Thurlow Nunn League side Enfield Borough, Mazionis has won caps with Lithuania at U16 and U17 levels.
"We thought long and hard about bringing someone in on a permanent deal, but when we analysed the market we just didn’t feel we could get the right one,” Cards director of football Jody Brown told his club’s official website.
"Jacob was identified as a young player that could could come into our group and add some things we need.
"We worked closely with Ipswich to make it work, they have a lot of belief in Jacob, and we are excited to play a part in his development.
"The priority with our recruitment has to be us - and the entire football department feel Jacob will be an asset for the remainder of the season.”
Ex-Town forward Matt Ward joined Woking following his release in the summer, while keeper-coach John Keeley is on the staff.
Former Blues winger Alan Judge recently left Woking after a short second spell at the Kingfield Stadium.
