Town midfielder Owen Garvan says he can’t wait for the busy Christmas period to get underway.

The 18-year-old midfielder has missed most the season with post viral syndrome and he wants to make up for lost games with as many as he can squeeze in.

 

Owen: “The games will come thick and fast - and I can hardly wait!

 

“My season is really just starting so the more games I play the better I will like it.

 

“They (his parents) will be here on Boxing Day and they are looking forward to it just as much as I am. They haven't seen me play in a very long time.

 

“When I was ill it was a worrying time for them as parents. They know how much football means to me and it was a hard time for them to cope with as much as myself.

 

“But I had a programme that I had to stick to in order to build myself up gradually and hopefully that's all in the past now.

 

“All I'm interested in is doing well for Ipswich. All the frustration of seeing the other lads train and play but not be able to join in myself is over now.

 

“Like I said, it's as if the season is starting for me and I've a lot of ground to make up.

 

“It can still be a good season for us. We are at the stage where we can still achieve something if we can just find the consistency to get a run of decent results under our belts.”
