Guinean international striker or winger Larsen Touré in the Town squad for this evening’s friendly at Colchester. The 31-year-old is a former team-mate of Kevin Bru with Levski Sofia.
Kevin Bru and David McGoldrick - from the penalty spot - twice gave the Blues the lead at Colchester but the U’s ran out 3-2 victors in the now-annual friendly at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. For the home side, Alex Gilbey scored twice and Gavin Massey a late, late winner.
Town boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed that midfielder Jay Tabb will be moving on at the end of the season with his contract up. The 32-year-old hasn’t played a Championship game this season, although has made four cup starts, scoring one goal.
Town boss Mick McCarthy doesn’t expect to add to his squad before Saturday’s game at Huddersfield as he’s yet to find anyone to come in who is better than the players already in his squad.
