Ipswich Town have snapped up Southampton goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski on loan for the remainder of the season.

Bialkowski has joined the Tractor Boys following the departure of back-up keeper Shane Supple on loan to League One side Oldham Athletic.

The Polish keeper has been allowed to head out on loan after slipping down the pecking order at St Mary's following Mark Wotte's arrival as manager.

"We've a few goalkeepers in the squad at the moment with Kelvin Davis, Tommy Forecast, Michael Poke and Andrej Pernecky also in contention so I can't guarantee Bartosz any football at this moment," said Wotte.

"He was getting a little impatient so, to be fair to him, it will be good for him to go somewhere he can be a little more involved - and if we need him we can recall him."
