IPSWICH Town have signed Southampton keeper Bartosz Bialkowsi on loan allowing Shane Supple to join Oldham Athletic.

Supple will be on the bench for tonight's game with Burnley at Portman Road and travel to Boundary park while the Poland Under 21 keeper will travel up from Hampshire to complete his deal on Wednesday and join in training on Thursday.

Former Blues boss Joe Royle yesterday moved to make Supple his first signing and the Irishman will make his debut against Tranmere on Saturday.

Bialkowski will team up once again with Richard Wright who was on loan at the saints as cover for the injured Kelvin Davis.

The Pole has made 19 senior appearances for Southampton working with former Town goalkeeping coach Malcolm Webster.
