Former Ipswich Town midfielder Alan Judge has joined National League side Woking on until the end of the season.

The 35-year-old has been working his way back from injury after suffering a triple rupture in his left knee in December 2022 while at Colchester United, and underwent surgery to repair his ACL in March last year. 

He was released by the U's at the end of the 2022/23 season but stayed at the League Two side to continue his rehab and made his return to action playing for their under-21's side this month. 

The Irishman has suffered several serious injuries during his career, including a nasty leg break at Portman Road while playing against Ipswich for Brentford during the 2015/16 season. 

 

 

Judge joins a Michael Doyle side who are 14th in the fifth tier and could make his debut as the Cards travel to 11th place Southend United tomorrow. 

In total, he made 91 appearances, scoring 18 times, during his spell at Portman Road before he went on to join Colchester in the summer of 2021.
