Loanee Tack Changes - Ipswich Town News

Town manager Joe Royle says that Fabian Wilnis's dramatic return to fitness has meant he has given up his search for a loanee right-back. Wolves' Oleg Luzhny turned down the chance to join the Blues, while Royle also enquired about Birmingham's Jeff Kenna and Boro's Robbie Stockdale.

The Town manager told the club site: "Fabian's recovery has been big boost for us and Drissa did really well at full-back on Saturday.

"We have got options in that position now and Jamma has done a job there when called up so right-back is not the problem it was two weeks ago when we tried to bring Luzhny in.

"I would still like to add to our squad in other positions though."
