George Hirst: Leicester City striker joins Ipswich Town on loan after return from Blackburn

Ipswich Town have signed Leicester City striker George Hirst on loan for the rest of the season.

Hirst was recalled from a season-long loan at Blackburn, where he only started three games, in order to move to Portman Road.

The 23-year-old son of former England forward David Hirst has made two senior appearances for Leicester.

"I'm here to help and I want to be involved in a promotion push," Hirst told the Ipswich website.

"The team has done well so far this season and I want to keep that going and give us a little bit of a push.
