Fuller Joins On Loan - Ipswich Town News
Southampton striker Ricardo Fuller is joining the Blues on a one-month loan. The frontman is expected at Portman Road on Friday and should go straight into the squad for Saturday's trip to Wolves.
Fuller had previously been targeted by Town at the beginning of last month but the former Preston and Portsmouth man was then unwilling to leave the St Mary's Stadium.
The 26-year-old has scored three goals in 16 starts and six substitute appearances this season but has been out of favour under new manager George Burley. A Jamaican international, Fuller joined the Saints from Portsmouth for £90,000 last summer.
