IPSWICH Town defender Joe Whight, has joined Blue Square Bet South promotion hopefuls, Chelmsford City, on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old left-back is out of contract at Portman Road in the summer and has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Blues.

Whight, who will still be eligible to play for Town’s under-21 team, could make his Clarets’ debut in their home game against Farnborough on Wednesday evening.
