Ipswich Town youngster Ashley Boatswain has returned to the club after his loan spell at Woking came to an end.
The 20-year-old forward joined Neal Ardley's side back in October and scored five goals in 20 games in all competitions for the National League outfit.
Boatswain has been praised by Cards director director of football Jody Brown, who said: “A good young man, who enjoyed his time here and we enjoyed having him.
"However, it’s important for his continued development to be playing. His game time has been heavily reduced with the addition of Joe Gbodé and the return to a front three rather than the two recently.

“I spoke with Ipswich and we mutually agreed it’ll be good for Ashley to go back, but I’d fully expect him to go out on loan to another club.
“Thank you to Ipswich Town, their support of the player at games and their communication with ourselves has been excellent. The relationship we have with them is very much appreciated.”
The Colchester-born frontman has been with the Blues' since the age of 11 and previously had loan stints at Bury Town, Leiston and AFC Fylde.
Boatswain is capped at international level for Montserrat, having made his senior debut in September last year.

Fletcher, who is a second year scholar at Town, is the godson of former Ipswich Town defender Thomas Gaardsøe. His parents lived next door to the Dane during his spell at Portman Road.
