Keeper David Cornell says Town’s “high ambitions” were what attracted him to join the Blues.

The free agent Welshman, who was linked with a number of other clubs during his final season with Northampton, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with an option for a further season.

"It’s another step in my career for where I want to be," the 29-year-old, often known as Dai, the Welsh diminutive form of David, told iFollow Ipswich.

"It’s a club that has high ambitions. I really wanted to be a part of it so that’s why I ended up coming here.

"Fingers crossed that this season, we can make that step and finish as high as we can - and hopefully that’ll take us into the Championship.

"It’s going to be a little different for the first couple of months with no fans. I’m looking forward to playing here and the fans being back in - and hopefully having a successful season.”

Reflecting on his talks with manager Paul Lambert, which TWTD revealed on Thursday, he added: "I really liked what I heard. We both have the same ambition and that’s to get the club back to the Championship and to challenge at the right end."

ringwoodblue added 16:04 - Aug 17 We certainly ought to be a club that has high ambitions but the reality has been somewhat different over the last few seasons. Will be interesting to see if the GK rotation policy is the same as last season in whoever does best in training gets the game. Anyway, welcome David, I wish you every success at Town

Kes you should know by now that all the mistakes that Chambers makes in giving away goals, nearly every match, is always the keepers fault! That's why we have a high turnover of keepers. Chambers will still keep being picked in the team for every game until he's 40 no doubt and in which time we will have had another 12 keepers because of course it will always be the fault of the goal keeper for Captain Calamity's errors! I would love to know the dirt that Chambers has on Evans or Lambert...or both even!!!

KiwiBlue2 added 23:16 - Aug 17 Perhaps it has been not so much the lack of ambition, rather the funding and wherewithal to achieve them ..... .... fingers crossed for this season......
