Conor Chaplin: Ipswich forward to leave promoted Championship club

Ipswich Town forward Conor Chaplin will leave the club when his contract expires this summer.

The 29-year-old played a major part in Ipswich’s promotions from League One and the Championship as well as featuring regularly in their relegation from the Premier League last season.

Although Chaplin featured in the Suffolk club’s opening four games of this campaign, he joined Portsmouth on loan in September, making 36 Championship appearances and scoring two goals as Pompey successfully fought against relegation.

Chaplin signed for Ipswich from Barnsley in 2019 and went on to score 55 goals in 174 appearances in all competitions.

“Conor has been a massive part of the growth and success of the football club during his time here,” Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna told the club website., external

“He leaves with our gratitude and fullest respect, and we wish him well in the next steps in his career.”
