Nsiala's Move to Fleetwood Confirmed - Ipswich Town News

Centre-half Toto Nsiala’s move to Fleetwood Town on a permanent basis has been confirmed.

Nsiala, 29, trained with his new team-mates, including former Blues striker Ellis Harrison, this morning and is set to make his debut in Saturday’s home game against Rotherham.

Head coach Stephen Crainey told his club’s website: "He’s got good experience at our level and has played at some big clubs, I’m really looking forward to working with him.

"Toto is really dominant in both boxes and he can also play comfortably with the ball at his feet. I’m delighted to get the deal over the line and get a player of Toto’s calibre in the building.”

Nsiala was out of contract with the Blues in the summer, Town having taken up a one-year option on his previous deal in May, and his departure on what's understood to be a free transfer comes as no surprise.

The DR Congo international was signed in the summer of 2018 by Paul Hurst from his former club Shrewsbury.

Nsiala, who spent a spell on loan at Bolton in the second half of 2019/20, made 71 starts and six sub appearances for Town, scoring once.
