Championship high-fliers Ipswich Town have signed Paddy Kenny from Bolton Wanderers on a four-month loan deal.

The Irish goalkeeper arrives at Portman Road following a hip injury suffered by Tractor Boys netminder Dean Gerken.

Kenny is set to be in the squad that travels to Brighton for tomorrow night's clash, and trained with his new team-mates yesterday.

The former Sheffield United and Leeds goalie, capped seven times by his country, joins a strong Irish contingent in Suffolk including Daryl Murphy, David McGoldrick, Stephen Hunt, Noel Hunt, Jay Tabb and manager Mick McCarthy.
