Mick McCarthy was pleased to see Paul Anderson make an immediate impact in a blue shirt as Town came out on top at Crawley. 

The wideman, who joined from Bristol City on Monday, set up Daryl Murphy’s opener in the 2-1 win against the League One club.

“We’re obviously delighted to have Paul here and he started well for us,” said the Town boss. 

“He created the first goal and I was pleased with him. I have kept an eye on him for a long while. He will be a good asset to us.”

Town had three trialists in action, Dan Seaborne, Dean Gerken  and Bongani Khumalo, who is spending time with Blues from Tottenham. 

“Bongani did okay. He’s quick and athletic but we are not looking to sign him. He’s here with a view to a possible loan deal," added Mick.
 

“There is no decision on the other two lads either. They wanted to come here and get fit and they are looking for a club. I know they have other interested clubs and we are looking at other players as well so we’ll see what happens but it’s at the back where we need to add to our numbers.”
