Last updated : 08 May 2009 By Site Editor


Tommy Miller's third spell at Portman Road is now over, as he is allowed to leave under boss Roy Keane for the second time in his career, with the former Manchester United midfielder previously having let Miller go when he was Sunderland boss.

Ivan Campo initally signed a one year deal with the club last summer, with a second year depending on a certain number of games played in. It's understood Campo did not meet this figure and Town boss Roy Keane does not have the former Bolton player in his plans.

Despite a season in which Town striker Billy Clarke scored eighteen goals whilst out on loan to Darlington, Northampton and a run of 8 goals in 8 games against Brentford helping them to the League Two title, Cork born Clarke has not done enough to win a new deal at the club.

22 year old striker Dean Bowditch has also been released today. having been involved in only two games as substitute for Town this year, after spending time on loan at Brentford where he scored twice in nine games after being handed a one year deal in the summer by former boss Jim Magilton.

Northern Ireland B international Chris Casement has also been told he is surplus to requirements at Portman Road. The 21 year old has features in 14 games for Town over the last three years and spent loan spells during the season at both Hamilton in Scotland and Wycome Wanderers in League Two.

Also released from Portman Road this morning are Jai Reason, who is currently on laon at Cambridge and will take part in the Blue Square Premier Play-Off Final on May 17th at Wembley, and Kurt Robinson who spent the later stages of the season on loan at Rushden and Diamonds.
