Sheepy On Currie Move

Ipswich Town Chairman David Sheepshanks is “very pleased” that Town have been able to sign Brighton midfielder Darren Currie.

Darren is the first player that Town have paid for since Marcus Bent joined the club three years ago and Mr Sheepshanks could not be happier but insists Town will remain careful with their finances.

Sheepshanks: “I am very pleased that we have been able to recruit Darren to join our promotion bid, after the hardships we have experienced, this is a landmark deal for Ipswich Town Football Club.

“The fact that we have been able to pay a fee for a player once more symbolises our recovery.

“We remain careful and prudent with our finances, however further investment in loan notes coupled with growing attendances and an attractive FA Cup-tie have all contributed to an improving situation that has enabled the Board to make this investment.

“We wish Darren well and warmly welcome him to the Club.”
