De Vos Plays at Posh - Ipswich Town News
New signing Jason De Vos will make his first appearance in a Town shirt in Saturday's pre-season friendly at Peterborough United (KO 3pm).
Manager Joe Royle told the club site: "Jason will definitely feature. He has had a few days off since signing as he's been playing for Canada over the summer, but we are keen to see him in an Ipswich shirt.
"Indeed most of the senior players will be involved. We are only allowed to use six subs, so some of them will be playing a bit longer than we might like.
"Ideally they would have all played 45 minutes, but the change in rules says we can't do that."
