Town have signed Northern Ireland U16 international left-back Darragh McCann from Belfast club Glentoran’s academy.

The 16-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Blues and will go into the U18s squad for the season ahead.

McCann, a free-kick expert who previously played in midfield, was spotted by Town playing for his country early last season.

“I was playing with Northern Ireland at a tournament called the Victory Shield in October and we played Wales, Scotland and Ireland and off the back of that I found out Ipswich were interested in me,” he said.

“I can’t want to go, can’t wait to just go over and start pre-season, start the season and play football. I can’t wait.”
