Ipswich Town goalkeeper Nick Hayes has extended his loan spell with National League side Solihull Moors until the end of the season.

He initially joined Andy Whing’s side a month ago and has since kept two clean-sheets in six appearances, which included a impressive performance in the 2-0 win over league leaders Chesterfield on Boxing Day. 

The Moors are currently fourth in the table and travel to Halifax Town tonight as they look to get back to winning ways and extended their gap in the play-off spots.

Hayes plays alongside former Town loanee Richard Stearman, who made 15 appearances during his time at Portman Road from Wolves in 2013. 

On extending his loan Hayes said: “I’ve really enjoyed it here, the lads have made it really easy to settle in and it’s the same with the staff.

“I’ve really enjoyed it so far and I’m delighted to have extended my stay here!”

The 24-year-old also spent time on loan at Southend United this season , where he impressed during his spell at Roots Hall in the same league. 

He came through the Town academy set-up and returned to the Blues in January 2022 from Hemel Hempstead Town, having previously spent time with Norwich City.

Hayes is yet to make a senior appearance for Town and is contracted until the summer.
