Ipswich Town have confirmed the signing of forward Luke Varney, on a deal until the end of the season

The former Blackburn, Leeds and Derby man was on loan at Portman Road last season but saw his time in Suffolk cut short by a serious achilles injury, suffered during the play-off semi-final first leg clash with Norwich.

Varney has undertaken much of his rehab with the Blues, with manager Mick McCarthy insisting a contract was always likely, and he has now agreed a deal until the end of the season.

He will wear the number 42 shirt.
