Accrington Stanley chief executive Rob Heys has revealed that his club negotiated a sell-on clause and promotion bonus in the deal which took Gary Roberts to Portman Road on a permanent basis. The Blues are understood to have paid £200,000 for the 22-year-old's signature, in addition to a £50,000 loan fee to secure his services from October to January.

Heys said: "Gary's got a sell-on fee written into his contract, as well as a promotion bonus for us should they go up, so we're supporting Ipswich from now on."

Roberts completed his switch earlier this week, signing a contract until 2010.

Sunderland have confirmed that former Town target Jonny Evans has joined them on loan from Manchester United for the rest of the season.
