Town youngster Ed Upson has signed a two year professional contract with Town.

The 17-year-old midfielder scored the winning goal in the final of the FA Youth cup in 2005 put pen to paper on the contract at Portman Road this morning.

 

Ed: “I'm thrilled to have signed my first professional contract. It's an important step for me.

 

“I did have quite a few clubs interested in talking to me but Ipswich was always the club I wanted to join.

 

“I've been here for a few years now and I like the way things are done at the Club.”

 

“You look at the likes of Billy Clarke, Owen Garvan and Danny Haynes and see where they are and that acts as an inspiration, that's the aim for me and if I can get anywhere near the first-team squad this season then that would be a bonus.”
