Andy Marshall today put pen to paper on a three-year contract at Portman Road. The former Norwich keeper was flanked by David Sheepshanks and George Burley at a Portman Road press conference this afternoon.

Boss Jim Magilton says fans will have to be patient as they wait for further summer signings. Today, July 1st, is traditionally a day when clubs announce new Bosman recruits but no new additions are due to be unveiled at Portman Road.

Alex Bruce and Owen Garvan have joined up with the rest of the Town squad at Loughborough University having been given last week off. The pair spent much of the summer away with the Republic of Ireland squad.

Town boss Paul Jewell says a decision on whether returning goalkeeper-coach Malcolm Webster will join his staff full-time will be made during his current month-to-month deal. Webster was back at Playford Road for the start of pre-season training this morning.

David Sheepshanks has warned fans not to expect a huge influx of new signings in the wake of Town receiving their £2.58 million share of the Darren Bent transfer fee. The chairman says the club will be “deliberate and strategic” in their use of the windfall.

Town have revealed that their £2.58 million share of the Darren Bent fee will be paid in three instalments over two years. Earlier today Tottenham agreed a £16.5 million deal with Charlton for Bents signature, £1 million of that fee in add-ons.

Boss Jim Magilton says it is little surprise that other clubs are being linked with moves for Town target Franny Jeffers. Weekend reports claimed that Coventry City had had a bid turned down by Blackburn, while Derby County and now Norwich City are also claimed to be interested.
