Ipswich manager McKenna happy working with Chelsea loanee Hutchinson

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is delighted with one of his summer loan signings.

The former Manchester United first team coach has showered Omari Hutchinson with praise.

The Chelsea youngster scored his first senior goal on loan at Ipswich recently.

In an interview with the East Anglian Daily Times, McKenna said: "It was a great goal for Omari's development.

"I've just been joking with him down there. From where he started a couple of months ago, to scoring his first professional goal from a sliding tackle… I don't think he would have believed that could be part of his repertoire.

"It's a great indication of the progress he's been making and the standards and discipline he's learning here. Alongside the goal his all-round defensive performance was excellent. Of course he showed his quality and bravery on the ball as well."
