IPSWICH Town are releasing keeper Ian McLoughlin at the end of the season while second year scholars Rory McKeown and Josh Meekings have been told they will not be offered a contract at the end of their scholarship next month.

Irish youth international McLoughlin is currently on loan at Stockport having sat on the first team bench for two months last season when Arran Lee-Barrett was the only other fit keeper.

The two younger players have appeared for Town reserves this season but have been unable to break into the first-team squad.
