Ipswich Town defender Elkan Baggott has joined League Two side Gillingham on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old centre-half - who has been capped 10 times by Indonesia - started two league games for the Blues towards the back end of last season before signing a new contract until 2025.

He'll now look to continue his development at a Gills side that will be looking to bounce straight back following relegation under Neil Harris.

Baggott can take inspiration from the way both Luke Woolfenden (Swindon) and Corrie Ndaba (Salford) developed their games at League Two clubs in recent years.

Blues boss Kieran McKenna has plenty of defensive options, with Woolfenden, George Edmundson, Janoi Donacien and Cameron Burgess joined by returning loanee Ndaba. New signings Greg Leigh and Dominic Ball are also capable of playing at centre-back.
