Dean Bowditch is back at Portman Road and ready to play his part in the Play-Offs.

The Town striker finished his loan spell at Burnley on Sunday and was back training with Blues today.

He is likely to play for Steve McCall's reserves at Portsmouth on Tuesday night and could come into contention for the Play-Offs against West Ham at the weekend.

Dean - back from Burnley

"I enjoyed it at Burnley and it was good to get some more first team experience under my belt," Dean told the Club website.

"The managers and players up there were excellent and really helped me settle in although it took a while to get used to the Lancashire accents!

"I'm back now though and hopefully I will get a chance to help the lads in the Play-Offs.

"I was hoping that when I came back the season would be over and the Club would be celebrating promotion to the Premiership.

"That's football though and at least we have another chance to go up."
