New signing Elliott Hewitt says everything about Town is impressive and that the club is a “big step up” from his previous side Macclesfield. The 18-year-old right-back signed a three-year deal yesterday, the clubs having agreed a fee in the region of £250,000 plus top-ups last week.
Wales U21 international Hewitt told the club site: "The club didn't really need selling to me, everything about the place is impressive.
"I've had a good look around the place and the training facilities are good, the ground is nice and it's a big step up from Macclesfield.
"I spoke to the owner and the manager and they said all the right things, which persuaded me that this was the right place for me to come and play my football.
"The manager also told me that he's looking to the future and looking to bring on young, hungry players, so hopefully I can help that happen here and help bring some success to Ipswich.
"I know the club have a tradition of bringing through young players, so that played a part in my decision and I'm looking to continue my development at this club now."
