Woolfenden should be playing - Wark

Ipswich Town legend John Wark says the club should not sell defender Luke Woolfenden.

The 26-year-old won promotion with the Tractor Boys in 2024 and went on to make 15 appearances in the Premier League last season - but has yet to start a league game since returning to the Championship, with Dara O'Shea favoured instead.

Wark expected Woolfenden to be playing regularly in the first team this season.

He told BBC Radio Suffolk's matchday team: "I think he's good enough to play and I was surprised he didn't play at the weekend."

Woolfenden has been linked with a move away, with Coventry City seeing a bid for the centre-back rejected.

Ipswich have already sold a number of first-team players during the summer transfer window, with forward Liam Delap joining Chelsea for £30m and Omari Hutchinson moving to Nottingham Forest for £37.5m.

Town will visit Preston North End on Saturday aiming to pick up their first win of the Championship season.
