Former Blues loanee Tyreeq Bakinson has completed his move from Bristol City to Sheffield Wednesday.

Bakinson, 23, who joins the Owls for an undisclosed fee, spent the second half of last season on loan at Portman Road, scoring twice in 14 starts and three sub appearances.

The move, which followed criticism of the one-time Luton youngster by Robins manager Nigel Pearson, was with a view to the deal becoming permanent in the summer.

However, the Blues subsequently signed Dominic Ball following his release by QPR, which appeared to end Town’s interest, although manager Kieran McKenna subsequently suggested Bakinson could still be in his thoughts after the friendly at Needham Market.

Bakinson had been training with the Robins’ U23s and hasn’t featured in any of their pre-season friendlies.

Ipswichbusiness added 08:04 - Jul 22 He didn't impress Nigel Pearson and it seems that KMK wasn't particularly impressed either (or he would have signed him and not Ball).

ringwoodblue added 11:09 - Jul 22 He was a useful addition to the squad last season with Evans out injured but I'm glad we didn't take up the option to buy him and like others think Ball was a much better choice.

Linkboy13 added 17:55 - Jul 22 Don't think Sheffield Wednesday's squad is any better than ours. It's very difficult to sign a striker who is guaranteed to get you 20 goals potentially he might. I think our squad is packed with players who are capable of scoring 10 or more goals a season.
