Elder Delighted to Join Squad - Ipswich Town News

New loan signing Callum Elder says he’s delighted to be part of the Town squad and is up for the tough challenge of trying to keep the Blues in the Championship.

The former Australia U20 international has joined on loan from Leicester City for the rest of the season, having helped Wigan Athletic to the League One title during 2017/18.

"Results for the first half of the season haven't been great but Ipswich is still a massive club," Town's new number 25 shirt told iFollow Ipswich.

"I've seen in the past few days that there are talented lads in this squad and I'm delighted to be a part of that now.

"We're all going to be pulling in the same direction and hopefully come May we'll have achieved our goal.

"Winning League One with Wigan last season was great but this is a different challenge and it's one I can't wait to grab with both hands."

🗣 "I had a good chat with the gaffer about three weeks ago & he said he wanted me to come down and be a big part of the squad so I was really eager to come & get involved."
