Town boss Kieran McKenna has revealed midfielder Lee Evans has left the club to look for football before the end of the season.

Having bolstered their squad with four new faces in the January transfer window, Town will be hoping the move pays off in the same way that a similar recruitment policy this time last year saw them end the season by winning promotion from League One.

Town boss Kieran McKenna says Preston North End, who the Blues meet at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon, remain a difficult proposition, despite falling away after a promising start to the season.

Town’s FA Cup run came to an embarrassing end at the fourth round stage as National League South Maidstone United defeated the Blues 2-1 at Portman Road. The Kent side, 99 places and four divisions below Town, went in front via Lamar Reynolds’s goal two minutes prior to half-time, before the Blues levelled on 56 via Jeremy Sarmiento and from there looked set to go on to win it. But Portman Road was stunned once again by Sam Corne’s second for the Stones and Town huffed and puffed without being able to find another equaliser, and crashed out of the cup.

Lamar Reynolds’s 43rd-minute goal has given National League South Maidstone United a 1-0 half-time lead over the Blues in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Portman Road.
