James Alabi: Ipswich Town striker leaves by mutual consent

James Alabi turned down an approach from Sheffield Wednesday to join Ipswich

Striker James Alabi has had his contract with Championship side Ipswich Town cancelled by mutual consent.

The 21-year-old joined in the summer following his release by Stoke City and made one first-team appearance, scoring in August's 4-1 Capital One Cup win over Doncaster.

He also had a three-game loan spell with Grimsby Town but failed to score.

"James now departs Suffolk for pastures new and we wish him well," the club said in a statement.
