Joe Confirms Ambrose Bid

Ipswich Town manager Joe Royle has confirmed he made an attempt to sign former Town midfielder Darren Ambrose on-loan from Newcastle.

Ambrose left Town during early 2003 during Town’s spell in administration, heading to Newcastle for about £1.5million. Royle did try to re-sign the England under21 international soon after but was knocked back by red tape. Joe has today confirmed he went back for Ambrose late last year.

Royle: “That was before Christmas. I spoke to Graeme Souness then and I haven't spoken to him since.

“We know Darren and we like him, but I know other clubs are also interested because they have asked me about him.

“Everything depends on who we are and where we are next season and at this moment in time I can't even think of which players I might want to bring in during the summer.”
