NATHAN Ellington and Jaime Peters’ days at Ipswich Town look numbered after Paul Jewell failed to name them in the squad which will travel to Holland tomorrow for a two-game pre-season tour.
Versatile right-back Peters didn’t make a single league appearance for the Blues last season, while striker Ellington made just three starts in his debut campaign at Portman Road.
Jewell said towards the end of the campaign that it might be time that both players ‘looked to move on’.
Trialist Cheick Kourouma will also have to stay in Ipswich as the Blues continue to battle red-tape surrounding the teenager midfielder’s proposed switch, while Tommy Smith cannot take part due to his Olympic commitments with New Zealand.
The EADT understands that two other young, foreign triallists will travel. Neither of them are believed to be a goalkeeper though, meaning Arran Lee-Barrett is the squad’s only custodian.
New signing Elliott Hewitt will join the squad at their base just outside of Eindhoven, despite the fact that the young right-back is out-of-action until October following hip surgery.
Latest recruit Luke Chambers travels, as do youngsters Byron Lawrence, Jack Ainsley, Joe Whight and Ronan Murray.
The Blues face Helmond Sport on Tuesday and Den Bosch on Thursday. Both games kick-off at 6pm GMT.
SQUAD: Lee-Barrett; Edwards, Hewitt, Ainsley, Chambers, Delaney, Cresswell, Whight; Emmanuel-Thomas, Carson, Bullard, Drury, Hyam, Stevenson, Martin, Lawrence; Chopra, Scotland, Murray.

Signing Ellington was a waste of time, and Is still cannot fathom what Peters has done wrong. I bet he wishes he had joined Man Utd instead if us now, all those years ago.

I have said it before. Peters is not a footballer. He should go back to Canada.

All they need do is wait patiently for Jewell to be let go some time before xmas - who knows the new manager may even give the excellent Peters a chance. Mind you he will presumably be scratching his head at the sheer stupidity of signing Ellington.

A little annoying this, as didnt Jewell say both of these players would be given equal chance as all the other players in pre-season. Not to bothered about ellington, but as for peters POOR. the lad has never let the blue shirt down and i feel he has been treated very poorly.
