Ipswich Town have extended the loan deal of Blackburn Rovers forward Luke Varney until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old initially joined on a month's loan, but Town had the option to extend that deal if they wanted to.

Varney will now stay at Portman Road until May 2, with an option also in place to cover the play-offs - should Ipswich make it.
