Ipswich striker Hirst signs new four-year deal

George Hirst scored five goals in 29 appearances last season

Ipswich Town striker George Hirst has signed a new four-year deal at the club.

Hirst, 26, has made 81 appearances and scored 19 goals since he joined on loan from Leicester City in January 2023, before making the move permanent six months later.

He played a part in the club's back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League, and made his international debut for Scotland in March.

"I've enjoyed every single day at the club since joining, and am really pleased to have signed a new deal," Hirst told the club website.

"We have achieved so much as a team, group and club over the last few years and to be part of that going forward, and hopefully achieving even more, is really exciting for me."

Manager Kieran McKenna said: "We're very pleased George has decided to extend his stay at the club.

"George has had a big impact on the progression of the club over the last two-and-a-half-years."
