Town sign striker John

Ipswich have signed striker Stern John on a month`s loan from Championship rivals Crystal Palace.

The 33-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international is available to face Cardiff on Sunday and will stay with Town until December 29.

John has made seven appearances for the Eagles in a campaign disrupted by a dislocated elbow which sidelined him for three months.
