Brett Pitman: Portsmouth striker targeting promotion after Ipswich switch

Brett Pitman was part of the Bournemouth squad promoted to the Premier League in 2015

Portsmouth have signed Ipswich Town striker Brett Pitman on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

The 29-year-old scored four goals for Mick McCarthy's side in the Championship last term.

The Jersey-born forward enjoyed two fruitful spells playing for Bournemouth either side of a three-year stint with Bristol City.

"I don't see this as a drop down, I see it as an opportunity to push on and hopefully get promoted again," he said.

Pitman added: "Coming back to the south coast is nice and this is a big club, so it's something I'm really looking forward to."
