Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane is convinced that loan signing Stern John will prove to be a big hit at Portman Road.

The 33-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international has joined the Tractor Boys until the end of the year from Crystal Palace.

Keane told his club's official website: "I had Stern with me at Sunderland and he did a good job for me there, albeit that being three years ago.

"I know what I will get from him. He won't run behind defenders, but if you give him the ball it will stick.

"We have also been getting a lot of crosses in and he'll attack them, get his head on the end of things. I'll guarantee you that.

"He has always scored goals and hopefully he can make an impact while he is with us here."
