Ipswich centre-back joins non-league side

Rushden & Diamonds have signed Ipswich defender Jack Ainsley on loan until January. The 19-year-old centre half, who started his career as a striker, was offered a professional contract by the Championship side at the end of last season and has now been given the chance of some first-team football. Ainsley is available for Rushden's FA Cup first round tie against Hinckley on Saturday, as the Conference National side look to avoid defeat against their lower league opponents. The youngster's only appearance so far for Ipswich this season came in a Carling Cup game against Shrewsbury, which Town won on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
