Ipswich Town youngster Leon Ayinde has joined National League side Rochdale on loan until January.

The 19-year-old forward, who turns 20 next week, featured for Kieran McKenna's side throughout pre-season and scored the U21s’ goal in their 3-1 friendly defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Ayinde joined the Blues from Cork City in January 2023 and has been a regular goalscorer for John McGreal's team in the Professional Development League. 

 

 

He now joins Jimmy McNulty's men, who have won two of their opening five games in the fifth tier and currently sit seventh in the table. 

The Irishman could make his debut for the Dale as they host Woking at Crown Oil Arena tomorrow. 

This will be his first loan move away from Portman Road. He has been capped at U17 level for the Republic of Ireland.
