Former Leicester City defender Sean St Ledger has signed with Ipswich Town.
St Ledger is a Republic of Ireland international, and he was released by the Foxes in the summer.
Ipswich have also taken Leeds United striker Noel Hunt on-loan.
"Noel Hunt fractured his back and had some hamstring trouble but he's been fit since March and not had a look in," Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"When he's fit he is a real handful and I'm delighted to get him here.
"Somebody announced he was on £25,000 a week at Leeds and apparently he can't walk down the street in Leeds because they turn on him. That's not helped him at all.
"He's on nowhere near £25,000 by the way. But it's had a detrimental effect on his career."
