Gibbs Signs First Pro Deal - Ipswich Town News
Young midfielder Liam Gibbs has put pen to paper on his first professional deal having turned 17 today. The deal runs to the summer of 2021.
Bury St Edmunds-based Gibbs made his first-team debut as a sub in the Leasing.com Trophy tie at Colchester.
"I’m absolutely buzzing. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of," he told the club site. "To finally get a first-team pro contact, I’m honoured at the opportunity.
"The appearance for the first team was probably the highlight of the last few months. I’m just thankful to the gaffer for giving me the opportunity."
First-year scholar Gibbs is a regular for the U18s and has also featured for the U23s this season.
