Ipswich Town striker George Hirst has officially signed a new four-year contract with the club, solidifying his commitment to the team's future. Since joining on loan from Leicester City in January 2023, Hirst has made 81 appearances and scored 19 goals, playing a pivotal role in the club's consecutive promotions from League One to the Premier League.

Hirst, aged 26, expressed his enthusiasm about the new deal, stating, "I've enjoyed every single day at the club since joining, and am really pleased to have signed a new deal. 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 also shared his thoughts on Hirst's extension, saying, "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."

In addition to his club achievements, Hirst made his international debut for Scotland in March, marking a significant milestone in his career. His consistent performance and dedication have made him a key player for both Ipswich Town and the national team.

As Ipswich Town prepares for the challenges of the Premier League, Hirst's renewed contract ensures that the club retains a vital asset in their quest for continued success.
