McCarthy Confirms Hunt Signing New Deal - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed that winger Stephen Hunt is rejoining the Blues on a one-year deal, as TWTD revealed last week.

Speaking ahead of pre-season getting underway at Playford Road this morning, McCarthy said: "Hunty’s coming back, we’re re-signing Hunty, that’s been agreed, a one-year deal.

"I’m delighted with that not only because of what he brings on the pitch but what he brings off it, he’s a great character around the place.

"Others, we’ll just wait and see what happens. We’re talking to people but they’re all doing their recruitment as well. We all want to get the best players for the best deals and the players all want to get the best clubs for the best deals, so there’s a bit of chat going on with a few of them.”

Hunt wasn't amongst the players taking the traditional run around the training ground and seems likely to join up with the squad later in the week.

Meanwhile, another of last season's loanees Paul Green is interesting Rotherham, who have already signed former Blues Frazer Richardson and Scott Loach.

Ipswich Town 0-3 Charlton Athletic - Match Report
Town suffered their biggest home Championship loss since April 2018 as newly promoted Charlton Athletic netted three times in the second half to shock the Blues 3-0. The home side had been the better side in the first half, albeit with the visitors having two of the period’s three best chances, but the Blues fell apart in the second after Sonny Carey had given the Addicks the lead on 52 with Macaulay Gillesphey and Miles Leaburn adding goals on 55 and 64 to inflict the Town’s first Portman Road defeat of the season and their biggest Championship loss on their own turf since the 4-0 loss to Aston Villa more than seven years ago.
