Luke Varney: Ipswich Town sign forward on deal for rest of 2015-16

Luke Varney has scored 67 times in 345 Football League matches

Luke Varney has signed a deal with Ipswich Town until the end of the season, while fellow forward David McGoldrick faces lengthy spell out.

Varney, 33, has been undergoing rehabilitation with Ipswich since injuring his Achilles in last season's play-off semi-final against Norwich while on loan from Blackburn.

He played 12 games for Ipswich before being released by Rovers in the summer.

Meanwhile, McGoldrick is out for the "long-term" with a hamstring tear.

The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international has scored three goals in 19 appearances for Mick McCarthy's side this season.

Varney, who has scored 67 goals in 345 career league appearances for eight Football League clubs, including Derby and Leeds, comes in as cover for McGoldrick.

David McGoldrick has found the net 23 times in 73 league games for Ipswich
