Former Carlisle United youth team star Ryan Carr has made a loan move from his Championship club.
The teenage midfielder, who joined Ipswich Town from the Blues last January, has linked up with National League South side Aveley.
The move is designed to give 19-year-old Carr first-team experience as he tries to further his progress with the Portman Road club.
The former United prospect made his Aveley debut in their 2-0 FA Trophy fifth round defeat to Bromley on Saturday.
He went straight into their side along with Ayyuba Jambang, who has also made a similar move from Ipswich.
Aveley sit tenth in National League South under manager Danny Scopes.
Ryan Carr is a Miller!

Carr has been a regular in Ipswich's under-21 side since his deadline-day move from Carlisle just over a year ago.
The former Blues academy player came through the ranks and made one first-team appearance for Paul Simpson's side last season, starting in the 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town in the EFL Trophy in September 2022.
Ipswich paid an undisclosed fee to sign the youngster, with Simpson at the time saying that EPPP academy compensation rules meant Carlisle had little choice but to let Carr join the Tractor Boys.
Ipswich sit fourth in the Championship.
