Hollman nets Ipswich keeper role

James Hollman worked with Robert Green and Joe Lewis at Norwich

James Hollman has been named as Ipswich Town's new goalkeeping coach, replacing Andy Rhodes who left the club in May.

Hollman, 30, was a youth team player at Ipswich before turning to coaching. He had seven years on the staff at Norwich City, working with Robert Green.

Hollman said: "It's a dream job for me to work at the club I support.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for me and I'm really looking forward to playing a part in helping Ipswich to move forward."

Hollman would not be drawn too far into speculation regarding Ipswich's search for a new goalkeeper, with Richard Wright being strongly linked with a return to the club.

He told BBC Radio Suffolk: "We're looking for promotion and we're looking for someone to come into this team and have an immediate effect so we're looking for someone who has got that experience.

"I think the fans would love to see him (Richard) return to Portman Road.

"As a friend of mine I would enjoy working with him again, we'll have to see how that one pans out."
