Town Travel to Doncaster Without Leadbitter Friday, 27th Apr 2012 12:54
Town travelled to Doncaster this afternoon for their final game of the season without former skipper Grant Leadbitter, who has decided not to remain at Portman Road after his contract is up at the end of the season. The Blues were already short of midfielders for their lunchtime clash with relegated Rovers (KO 12.30pm) with Luke Hyam injured, Lee Bowyer released and Lee Martin and Ryan Stevenson both having missed training due to injuries this week. Youngsters Byron Lawrence and Joe Whight have both made the trip.
Manager Paul Jewell was set to meet with Leadbitter on Friday to discover the 26-year-old’s decision with the former Sunderland man confirming his exit. Middlesbrough are believed to be the front-runners for his signature, while Brighton have also been linked.
