Ipswich complete signing of Sunderland's Jack Clarke | OneFootball

Ipswich Town have confirmed the signing of Sunderland winger Jack Clarke.

The 23-year-old signed a five-year contract in a deal worth a reported £15m upfront to the Championship club.

Clarke spent two years at the Stadium of Light and featured in the Black Cats’ promotion from League One via the play-offs.

“Ipswich have been on a really good trajectory over the last few years and the recruitment this summer has been very impressive, so this was always something I was going to be interested in.

“Speaking with Kieran McKenna really sells the club and the journey it’s on, as well as what they’re still trying to achieve, and you’re almost silly if you don’t want to jump on board with the way things have been going.

“I try to be an exciting player and contribute goals and assists so I think the style of football here will suit me, so I just feel excited to meet the lads and get started now.”

Former Tottenham and Leeds prospect Clarke joins the Tractor Boys just hours after Saturday’s 4-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League.
