Crystal Palace striker Stern John has joined Ipswich Town on loan until January. The 33-year-old links up with Town boss Roy Keane for the second time after being signed by the Irishman while he was in charge at Sunderland. The paperwork on the deal was completed just before Thursday's loan deadline and John will train with his new team-mates on Friday. John could make his bow for the Championship strugglers in Sunday's tough trip to Cardiff City. Keane first signed John back in January 2007 when he took the Trinidad and Tobago international to the Stadium of Light from Birmingham.
