Leicester City striker George Hirst has joined Ipswich Town.

Hirst leaves Leicester in an outright transfer, signing a four-year deal with their Championship rivals. He spent last season on-loan at Portman Road.

"Ipswich has felt like home for the last six months and a big part of why I wanted to come back," said Hirst.

"The last few months of last season were massive for me, doing what we did as a team, and that was something I wanted to carry on being part of.

"The reception I got from the fans, players and staff here was brilliant."
