Town have signed a multi-year agreement with Goalkeeper.com, keeper data intelligence specialists who assisted the club in the recruitment of Aro Muric from Burnley in the summer.
The Blues signed the Kosovan international from the Clarets for £10 million during the transfer window with Goalkeeper.com playing a role in identifying the 25-year-old as a target.
A press release reads: "Goalkeeper.com intelligence services elite-level football clubs and organisations, using a forensic approach to support goalkeeper recruitment, performance, and development.
"Led by Dr John Harrison PhD, Goalkeeper.com’s data team worked with head of goalkeeping Rene Gilmartin and the recruitment team to identify a goalkeeper best suited to Ipswich’s style of play and the situations they most frequently face.”
Now the two parties have agreed a longer-term arrangement with Town having access to the Goalkeeper.com performance suite for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons, as well as continued ongoing support.
"Goalkeeper.com data is going to help us make more educated and informed decisions, especially at elite professional level,” Gilmartin said.
"There’s going to be money involved at this level. There's going to be investment involved. You want to have as much of the information and knowledge to hand to make big decisions. That’s what Goalkeeper.com gave us.”
