Cresswell Settled in Suffolk - Ipswich Town News

Left-back Aaron Cresswell says he’s happy and settled in Suffolk having moved into his first house earlier this week. Boss Paul Jewell revealed that the summer signing from Tranmere was saving for his first property late last year.

The 22-year-old told the club site: "I've just got myself a house down here and everything is sorted on that front.

"It was a bit daunting for me when I first moved down here in the summer but I'm settled in Ipswich and want to commit to the area.

"Things are going really well for me, both on and off the pitch, and feel at home here. There's no doubting that I'm enjoying my football here at Ipswich and long may it continue.

"We've been doing well recently and picked up some great results, but we need to make sure we keep this run going."

Cresswell extended his initial Town contract until 2015 in October with an option for a further season, having made a huge impression in the first few months after his move from Prenton Park.

The Liverpudlian cost the Blues a tribunal-set fee of £240,000 rising to £520,000 after various milestone clauses.
