Jack Clarke scores the first of his two goals for Ipswich against Bristol City

  • Published

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna was full of praise for Jack Clarke after his two goals earned his team victory over Bristol City.

McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk: "I really enjoyed him. He worked so hard off the ball in every aspect. His link-up was really good as well.

"His approach to the season has been top. There's some great competition with another player there who's having a great season in a similar position, but Jack has really hung in with the mindset of developing himself and trying to improve his all-round game, to work well if he starts and work well if he comes off the bench."

The other player mentioned was Jaden Philogene, injured in the weekend win over Blackburn, and McKenna said: "It's not very, very serious, which is good. He had a scan today and has a little issue in his knee. I can't give definite timescales but it looks tough for Saturday but thankfully it's not a long-term injury."
