The striker has been in Suffolk to tie up the loose ends of a loan deal which will run until the end of the season.

“Will is down at Ipswich, he’s not signed just yet,” Adkins said at his press conference this morning. “It’s been a busy couple of days and we’re trying to be active.
“There is a process and I would imagine that at some point today Keane will sign on loan at Ipswich.
