Ipswich Town striker Sam Parkin has returned to full training after four months out with a broken ankle.

The summer signing is in the frame to feature for the reserves against Crystal Palace next week, and is relishing the prospect of challenging for a place in the Town attack.

"As a striker you would normally be disappointed if a manager brought in a new front player but the way it has been here with Fozzie, Adam (Proudlock) and myself out, we clearly needed someone in," Parkin told the club official website.
