Released Watford striker Nathan Ellington continues to be linked with a move to the Blues. The 29-year-old was rumoured to be the player who held talks with manager Paul Jewell at Portman Road on Monday with his name subsequently mentioned in a couple of national newspapers.

Ellington, who played for Jewell at Wigan, finished last season on loan at Preston with the relegated Lilywhites understood to be keen to sign him on a permanent basis.

The 5ft 10in tall frontman started his career with Walton and Hersham before moving on to Bristol Rovers, the Latics and then West Brom for a £3 million fee in August 2005.

Since signing for Watford for £3.25 million in August 2007, the Bradford-born striker has spent time on loan at Derby County during Jewell’s spell there as manager and in Greece with Skoda Xanthi.

tractorboyluke added 12:10 - Jun 18 Don't think he should be a week in week out starter, but on a free he could be a good impact player and do a job for a few weeks if one of our big guns gets injured
