Kieffer Moore has sealed a return to Ipswich after he signed a six-month loan deal with the Championship club.

Bournemouth have allowed the Wales international to depart on a temporary basis after he started only twice under Andoni Iraola during the first half of the campaign.

Moore previously spent 18 months at Portman Road and, while he failed to score in 11 appearances in 2017, he returns with plenty of Championship and big-match pedigree.

He told Town TV: "It's great to finally get it over the line because it's been a long time coming during the window.

"I remember my first spell here and I've gone away and worked very hard on myself during that time, so I'm delighted to be back and can't wait to get going.

"I was really excited when I spoke to everyone here and now I just want to meet the group, get out on the pitch and contribute."

Baggott on loan

Meanwhile. Elkan Baggott has joined Bristol Rovers on loan for the remainder of the season.

The central defender made four Carabao Cup appearances for Town during the first half of the campaign, scoring against Fulham in round four.

He'll now continue his development at the Memorial Stadium.

Elkan, who has previously spent time on loan at King’s Lynn Town, Gillingham and Cheltenham Town, has made a total of seven appearances for the Blues, making his senior debut in October 2020.

The 21-year-old has recently returned from the Asian Cup in Qatar, where he won three caps for Indonesia before their exit to Australia on Sunday.
