Colin Oppong, Ola Bello and Tommy Smith have all moved to Crown Meadow initially for a month and will be eligible for Saturday`s home game against Alvechurch.

 

Oppong (pictured), 19, is a Northern Ireland-born striker who has been with the Trawlerboys on loan before, joining in September 2020 for a month.

 

Originally with Irish side Cliftonville`s academy, he came over to England to join Ipswich in January 2019 and has also had a loan stint in the Isthmian League North Division with Bury Town in 2019/20.

 

Bello, 18, is a Nigerian forward who joined the Ipswich academy in July 2019 and signed a one-year professional contract on July 1st.

 

Smith, 19, is a left back who is the only one of the trio to have tasted first team football with Ipswich, appearing as a second half substitute in a 1–1 draw with Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy in December 2019.

 

He signed his first professional contract in February 2020 and, like Oppong, was loaned to Bury Town, playing 19 times in 2019/20.

 

Godbold told his club`s website: "I'd like to thank Ipswich for allowing us to take the boys on loan. It means we now have really good depth and experience within the first team, and this will create competition for us. Colin, we have seen before, and his physical presence will give us something we've liked at the top end of the pitch. Ola is a pacey attacking player who can nick a goal and gives us good options in the number nine shirt. Tommy is a left footed defender and will give us more senior defenders to pick from.

 

"Everyone can see our start hasn't been what we would have wanted so now with the extra competition, our battle has to start amongst ourselves on the training pitch. If we can push each other for more in the right way I've got no doubt we can start to put together some good sequences of results".
