Nabil Back With Town - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Nabil Abidallah has rejoined training at Portman Road after ending his one-month loan spell at Northampton Town.
The diminutive former Ajax man played just 36 minutes of football for the Cobblers, coming on as a sub in the league game at York and in an LDV Vans tie against Colchester, a match in which he himself was later subbed.
Abidallah has made three appearances for Town - all from the bench - since moving to Portman Road in the summer of 2000. The 21-year-old is out of contract at the end of June.
Late last year Ross County were interested in taking him to Scotland, however, financial issues scuppered any move.
