Gibbs Signs First Pro Deal
Monday, 16th Dec 2019 19:29

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.

Ericgates12 added 22:27 - Dec 16 Well done Liam. Very creative midfielder the club have done very well keeping hold of him as I know lots of Premier league clubs are sniffing around him. Well done Ipswich securing such a talented youngster. Big well done to all at the academy producing another player we can call our own. Home grown lads love them. See you in the first team soon.

Juryisout added 13:53 - Dec 17 Congratulations Liam and deserved, but slightly disappointing they couldn't offer a longer contract as it runs out the same time as his scholarship would have done? Looks like it's just a short term thing to inflate his value ready to be sold on?
