"Sammie Szmodics' loan move to Derby County this week was not a football decision according to Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna, who admitted the Ireland forward's deadline day departure was in the "best interests" of his team's culture and values."
"The 30-year-old will spend the rest of the season on loan at Ipswich's promotion rivals Derby, where he links up with his former Blackburn boss John Eustace, with the move coming just 18 months after he signed for McKenna's side for an initial €11m fee."
Sammie Szmodics has joined Derby County on loan for the remainder of the season. The 30-year-old links up with former Blackburn manager John Eustace at promotion rivals Derby. The loan comes 18 months after Szmodics signed for Ipswich for an initial €11m fee. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna described the deadline-day departure as not being a football decision and said it was in the "best interests" of the team's culture and values. Szmodics will therefore leave Ipswich's campaign to compete with them in the promotion race for the rest of the season.
