Ipswich Town have snapped up Manchester City youngster Cieran Slicker.

The goalkeeper joins Ipswich in a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract.

“I'm buzzing to be here because this is a great opportunity for me at an amazing club," the Scotlamd U21 international said after signing for Town.

“Saying goodbye to City is tough, because I have been there for 13 years, but this is definitely the right time for me.

“I have been speaking to Reg (Rene Gilmartin, Town's Head of Goalkeeping) and I can't wait to get started with him. He's worked with goalkeepers I've played with previously and everyone has spoken very highly of him.

“The way Ipswich play was a big part of the reason I chose to come here, because it suits my style.

“Everyone I know who played in League One last season said Ipswich were the best team by a mile, so hearing that was great for me. In some ways it's similar to the way City play so that is really big for me.

“Working with Ederson, Scott (Carson) and Zak (Steffen) at City has been a brilliant experience for me and working with Christian (Walton) is going to be the same. He was the best goalkeeper in the league last season and I want to learn as much as I can from him because he sets the standards I want to reach."
