Liam Delap has completed his move to promoted Ipswich from Manchester City after signing a five-year deal.

The 21-year-old forward, who is the son of former Republic of Ireland international Rory, has joined for an undisclosed fee and is Town's fourth summer signing as they prepare for life back in the top flight.

England Under-21 international Delap told Town TV: "I'm really excited. The manager here likes to play exciting football. It's quick and intense and I am looking forward to that.

"I want to bring goals and assists and I'll work as hard as I can to help the team."

Delap played just six times for Manchester City, spending loan spells at Stoke, Preston and Hull in the last two seasons.

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said: "We are delighted to bring Liam to the club. He is a player with outstanding physical and technical attributes who has a hunger to come here and continue to learn and improve.

"He has gained good first-team experience from a young age and we feel he has the potential for development here."
