Assistant academy manager Marvin Williams is leaving the Blues after just over a year at Playford Road.

Former Millwall and Brentford winger Williams, 36, joined the club 14 months ago having previously been Sutton United’s academy manager.

Announcing his exit on LinkedIn, Williams wrote: “My time at Ipswich Town will be coming to an end. Firstly, I’m incredibly proud to have been given such an amazing opportunity at a MASSIVE club - I will be forever grateful.

“Whilst in post I have been exposed to some great working practices and learnt so much; I will take away things that will stay with me forever.

“It’s clear the club are on a hugely exciting journey and I wish them and the academy nothing but success along the way.

“I now look forward and begin seeking new opportunities. Let’s see what the next chapter holds.”

Meanwhile, this morning’s U18s game at Millwall was postponed. The game has been rearranged for Tuesday 7th May.

blues1 added 23:11 - Jan 20 Hipsterectomy. What are you on about? People leave their jobs all the time. Clearly just sees his future in a different position. Just as hexdid when he left millwall to come here. But guess you think there's something wrong at Millwall too. To say there's something wrong at portman road bcse some1 leaves is a ridiculous comment.

Tractor_Boy_in_HK added 07:52 - Jan 22 Read between the lines guys, he was fired. Not many people leave their jobs without another job to go to - and despite being a former footballer doubt he's got enough cash to live comfortably on for life. It's not a sign of anything at PR, sometimes things just don't work out. It was maybe a step too far for him, or his philosophy didn't match the clubs. He's being very gracious about it, which bodes well for him getting another job.
