Ipswich Town defender Leif Davis has revealed he is ‘gutted’ to hear the news that fellow left-back Greg Leigh has suffered a serious injury. Davis made the move to the Tractor Boys from Leeds United in the summer and has been competing with Leigh for a place in the starting XI.
The 22-year-old had been heavily involved in Leeds’ pre-season with a view to competing with Junior Firpo for the left back spot at Elland Road. However, Ipswich were willing to pay circa £1 million for Davis and he therefore made the switch to Suffolk.
Davis has started nine of Ipswich’s 10 league games so far this season, but has often been replaced in games by Leigh. Leigh suffered the injury late on in Ipswich’s recent 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday, but initially it was not thought to be anything serious.
