Ipswich Town released 13 players during the summer; how have they fared since? FLW examines how the players who left Portman Road during the summer have fared thus far this season.
Given the huge changes the club underwent during the summer, Ipswich Town’s impressive start in the Championship has surprised the other teams in the league.
Many of the players that left Ipswich Town have had contradictory experiences after leaving; some have found success and consistent playing time at their new teams, while others have had trouble maintaining consistency.
Ipswich Town, who currently hold second position in the league rankings, have been able to rebuild and develop a strong foundation in the Championship as a result of the departure of these individuals.
Ipswich Town scored a goal in the air.
Following a summer of transition, Kieran McKenna’s team has surprised the rest of the division. As Town attempted to initially re-establish themselves in the second flight, thirteen players left the club during the course of the summer.
FLW analyse how each individual has performed since their departure from Portman Road.
Joe Pigott
After agreeing to terminate his contract by mutual consent in July, the striker has since joined newly-promoted Leyton Orient in League One.
In the 13 games the O’s have played in the league so far, Pigott has featured in all of them and has registered two goals and one assist as Orient sit tenth in the division.
Rekeem Harper
The midfielder also opted for a League One move this summer, returning to the Midlands in the form of Burton Albion.
However, since his move, Harper has found consistency hard to come by despite the Brewers’ recent upturn in form. He started three of the first five league games, but since then, his further three appearances have come as a substitute.
Joel Coleman
Having failed to make a single appearance for Ipswich during his only season at the club, Joel Coleman would’ve been desperate for regular gametime at Bolton, but this hasn’t proved to be the case.
Due to the arrival of fellow goalkeeper Nathan Baxter, Coleman’s opportunities under Ian Evatt came via the Carabao Cup, making two appearances as the Whites were knocked out by Middlesbrough in the second round.
Kane Vincent-Young
Vincent-Young ended his four-year association with Ipswich in the summer to join Wycombe Wanderers.
As the Chairboys have made a solid start to the season, the full-back has made seven appearances for his new employers so far as Matt Bloomfield’s side look to mount another play-off bid in the third tier.
