Paul Jewell says he will speak to on-loan Celtic defender Darren O’Dea in the next fortnight regarding the Irish international’s future. The Dubliner has been on loan at Portman Road for the season but has been in and out of the side under Jewell and former manager Roy Keane.

Jewell said: “I’ve spoken to his agent a couple of times and I’ve said I’ll sit down with Darren in the next couple of weeks and see what’s going to happen there.”

The 24-year-old, who recently said he thought he’d be returning to Celtic in the summer, is contracted to the Glasgow giants until 2013.

Meanwhile, Carlisle's Nahki Wells has revealed that his fellow Bermudian Reggie Lambe almost joined him at Brunton Park before moving to Bristol Rovers on loan last month: “It was almost possible that Reggie came over here on loan for the rest of the season, but it didn’t work out and he went to Bristol Rovers.”

broomfield123 added 09:12 - Apr 9 A very average player. We need to set our sites higher than this guy and sure we can get a much better full back from the prem reserves i.e Mr Clapham when Burley got him for next to nothing.

slowerball added 09:52 - Apr 9 I can see his future..... anywhere other than here I'm afraid. Not really good enough, decent cover at best, but not for us. Served a purpose at the time, couldn't believe the loan was extended but I suppose PJ had to take a look at him.

Garv added 10:48 - Apr 9 Wages probably steep, I'm sure we could get better for less.

Mark added 13:09 - Apr 9 I thought it had been agreed he was going back?! I remember Keane saying his wages were not cheap, so please let's release him and look to bring in players who are first-teamers and provide better value-for-money.
