George Hirst Joins Ipswich Town

Leicester City striker George Hirst has completed a permanent transfer to Sky Bet Championship side Ipswich Town for an undisclosed fee, subject to league approval.

The 24-year-old former England youth international spent the second half of last season on loan with the Tractor Boys as they secured automatic promotion to the second tier – scoring seven goals in all competitions.

Hirst, who also enjoyed loan spells with Rotherham United, Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers since signing for the Foxes in the summer 2019, made his Leicester City debut in a July 2020 Premier League fixture away to Tottenham Hotspur.

George leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the Football Club for his future career.
