Ipswich Town have not taken up their option to sign Tyreeq Bakinson on a permanent transfer, with the Bristol City midfielder now training with the Under-23s as the Robins try and find a move for him.
Bakinson spent the second half of last season on loan with the Tractor Boys, making 17 appearances and was among head coach Kieran McKenna’s midfield considerations this summer, with Ipswich holding first refusal on the 23-year-old, but the League One club have pursued other options in the position.
Bakinson was back at the Robins High Performance Centre on Monday to join the rest of the City squad for the first time since January 20, when his exit was followed by a very public criticism of his attitude by manager Nigel Pearson.
