Ipswich have re-signed Crystal Palace midfielder Jonny Williams on loan.

The 20-year-old, who made 13 appearances for the Tractor Boys last season, will stay at Portman Road for 93 days.

Williams is likely to be involved in the squad that travels to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night.

He told the club's official website: "I found out after we lost to Newcastle in the Capital One Cup last week that I could go out on loan.

"I had a few options but Ipswich was one of the main clubs that came to mind immediately and I felt it was the best club for me to join.

"There were so many positives from my time here before. There is a great team spirit here, the fans were great to me but the main thing was the belief the manager showed in me. I'm looking forward to playing for him again.

"Things look like they are going well on the pitch and the club is moving forward. The play-offs are the aim and I'm delighted to have the chance to try and help keep Ipswich in the top six."

Palace manager Neil Warnock said: "There were four or five clubs after him - I just know Mick (McCarthy) will play him in the hole where I want him to play and he enjoyed it at Ipswich last season as well.

"He knows I'm watching him and he's playing in the position I think he's better in.

"He's in my plans and he's going to be a very important player for Palace long term."
