David McGoldrick says he’s known about Town’s interest in him for a while, but that in the end his loan switch from Nottingham Forest came about very quickly. McGoldrick, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Coventry, has moved to Portman Road on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move.
The 25-year-old told the club site: "It feels great to be an Ipswich Town player and everyone knows it’s a big club.
"The chance to come and play for a club of Ipswich’s size and under a manager like Mick McCarthy was something that I just couldn’t turn down and I’m delighted to be here.
"I’m glad that the deal is finally done and I’m looking forward to getting to know all the lads and getting my Ipswich career started.
"I’d known about Mick’s interest for a while, but then I went back to Forest from my loan spell at Coventry and I thought I would be staying there.
"Then I got the call to come down to Ipswich and the next day I had signed, passed my medical and was training with the boys. It’s been a crazy 24 hours but I’m just happy that it’s all done now.”
