Ipswich Town have finially come clean over their attempt to loan back midfielder Darren Ambrose.

Town Manager Joe Royle denied the attempt last week, but chairman David Sheepshanks said:

"We approached Newcastle about taking Darren Ambrose on loan but they said no.

"I know a number of other clubs have also asked about the possibility of taking him but Newcastle are still worried about his long-term fitness.

"Although nothing will happen in the immediate future, we haven't completely given up hope.

"You just never know. The move may happen later this season if Joe Royle still wants to bring him back."
