Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton has moved quickly to bolster his midfield options by snapping up the Republic of Ireland international Alan Quinn from Sheffield United on an emergency loan arrangement.
The 28-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday star has fallen out of favour at Bramall Lane and has not started a first-team game for the Blades for almost three months.
"We had to move fast when I heard Alan might be available and we're delighted to have him at the club," Magilton told Town's official website.
"I've known Alan since he was a lad and he'll come in and freshen things up for us and I'm delighted he's with us."
