• Dyer will hope to prove fitness in spell at Portman Road • Midfielder's contract at West Ham expires in JuneThe West Ham United midfielder Kieron Dyer has rejoined former club Ipswich Town on loan for a month.Dyer has made just 13 appearances for the Hammers this season thanks to his struggle to find fitness and form and will spend the next month at Portman Road, where he began his career.The midfielder was considered one of the brightest prospects in the English game when he broke into the Ipswich team in 1996 and went on to make 90 appearances for the club before making a £6m move to Newcastle in 1999.He earned his first of 33 England caps at St James' Park but suffered a long series of injuries and was sold to West Ham for the same fee in 2007.Dyer's injury worries continued at Upton Park, where he broke his leg in two places on his third appearance for the club, ruling him out for 17 months before returning to action in January 2009.He has struggled for fitness ever since, with a thigh injury the latest in a long line of complaints to keep him sidelined this term.Dyer has not played for Avram Grant's side since January 26 and was unlikely to force his way back into the team given the excellent form of Thomas Hitzlsperger since his comeback from a serious thigh injury. Dyer could leave the club at the end of the season, with his contract due to run out in the summer.Dyer trained with his new team-mates this morning and could go straight into the Ipswich squad to face Leeds on Saturday.Ipswich TownWest Ham Unitedguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
