    DONE DEAL; Ipswich Town have officially completed the signing of SENSATIONAL veteran star as their fourth signing of the Summer

    Ipswich Town have confirmed the signing of seasoned Premier League star Ashley Young, who now becomes the oldest player ever to join the club.

    The 40-year-old has penned a one-year contract, bringing a wealth of top-flight experience from his time at clubs such as Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Everton.

    Capable of playing as a winger or full-back, Young has racked up 750 club appearances and scored 88 goals over the course of his career.

    His honours include a Premier League title, FA Cup, and Europa League win during his stint at Old Trafford, as well as a Serie A title with Inter Milan in the 2020/21 season.

    Young spent the last two campaigns with Everton, making 32 Premier League appearances in the 2024/25 season—mostly at right-back.

    Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna told the club’s website:


    “Ashley has had a brilliant career and his track record speaks volumes.
    He’s maintained an incredibly high standard of professionalism and performance throughout, and he’s still playing at a high level.


    We believe his leadership and experience will be a huge asset to the squad this season, and he’s eager to contribute both on and off the field.
    It’s a great signing for us as a group and as a club.”

    Young, who was in attendance as his son Tyler played for Ipswich U21s as a trialist in a friendly at Needham Market last night, becomes the Blues’ fourth signing of the summer.

    Other arrivals at Portman Road include:

    • Goalkeeper David Button (free transfer from Reading)
    • Defender Cedric Kipre (loan from Reims)
    • Midfielder Azor Matusiwa (signed from Rennes for £7.8 million)

    Ipswich are set to continue their preseason with a friendly away at Aberdeen on Friday evening (kick-off 7:30pm).
