Ipswich Town have just achieved promotion to the Premier League after finishing second in the Sky Bet Championship table.

Here, we go through Ipswich's impressive season.

Key Ipswich Transfers in 23/24

Going up from League One meant Ipswich did not have to sell many players, allowing them to keep their core group that was promoted and not lose any key players to the higher divisions.

The Tractor Boys did let some squad players go, including: Joe Piggot (Leyton Orient), Rekeem Harper (Burton Albion), Joel Coleman (Bolton Wanderers), Kyle Edwards (Oxford United), Kane Vincent-Young (Wycombe Wanderers), Richard Keogh (Wycombe Wanderers).

Promotion meant Ipswich needed to bring some quality signings in to help them be competitive in the Championship. Loan signing Omari Hutchinson proved to be The Tractor Boys' signing of the season, as he was a crucial piece in the promotion push late into the campaign.

Jack Taylor also proved to be a strong purchase for Ipswich, with the midfielder becoming a regular in the starting eleven after arriving from Peterborough in the summer. Kieffer Moore made a massive impact when he arrived in January, with the Welshman coming into the side and scoring seven goals.
