Magilton won’t prevent O’Callaghan from leaving Ipswich

IPSWICH manager Jim Magilton has said that he won’t stand in the way of George O’Callaghan leaving Portman Road.

The former Cork City icon has struggled to make an impression at the Championship side this season and has expressed frustration at his lack of first team opportunities. League One side Brighton, against whom O’Callaghan impressed in a reserve match, are keen to sign the midfielder but it’s understood that he would prefer not to drop down a division.

Ipswich boss Magilton says he is reluctant to let the Corkman go but understands his desire for first team football.
