Kourouma Leaves Town - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced that French-Guinean midfielder Cheick Kourouma has left the club by mutual consent. Kourouma, 20, signed a one-year deal in the summer after a protracted battle to cut through extensive red tape relating to his previous clubs.

Kourouma appeared for the Blues in friendlies and in the U21s, but failed to make the first team squad.

Chief executive Simon Clegg said: "We wish Cheick every success for the future."
