Ball: My Two Seasons Here Have Been Incredibly Special - Ipswich Town News

Dom Ball, whose release was announced this afternoon, says his two years at Portman Road have been incredibly special.

Midfielder, central defender or right-back Ball joined Town after leaving QPR in the summer of 2022 but never established himself in the team, the Blues’ form and injury limiting his opportunities.

The 28-year-old made 13 starts - five in the league - and 22 sub appearances, scoring one goal.

"My two seasons at Ipswich have been incredibly special. The goal when I signed was to help the club return to the Championship, so to do that and then achieve promotion again last season has honestly been a dream come true,” Ball said in a statement released through the club.

"I’ve met so many wonderful people during my time here and made memories to last a lifetime.

"I want to thank the fans for their support, all the coaches and staff I have worked with and, of course, my teammates. I’ve never been part of a dressing room with the bond we have and I doubt I ever will again.

"I will miss everyone and I wish the club nothing by the best in the Premier League. COYB.”
