Conor Chaplin signs new long-term deal at Ipswich Town
He's committed to stay at Portman Road until the summer of 2026
Ipswich Town forward Conor Chaplin has committed his long-term future to the club - signing a new three year contract.
The 26 year old will remain at Portman Road until the summer of 2026, having joined from Barnsley in July 2021.
He scored 29 goals in all competitions last campaign, sharing the League One Golden Boot with Peterborough's Jonson Clarke-Harris.
Speaking to the ITFC website, Chaplin said: “There is nowhere else I would rather be because this club is so ambitious in the way it thinks and the way it is run. It’s an exciting place to be. I am delighted and grateful.
“It was an easy decision to make because I am very lucky to have had a really good connection with my teammates and the staff, as well as the fans. I never thought of anything else so I’m delighted it’s sorted.
“This is probably the most comfortable I have been at a football club and it feels like it’s home. I was fortunate to get a lovely house straight away, which probably helps you settle down, and I love where I live. I love Suffolk in general because it suits me as a person.”
“I want to carry on and be better than the 2022/23 season – that's always been my mantra in terms of season after season.
“I always want to beat the last one, which isn’t always possible and isn’t something I’ve always been able to do during my career, of course, but it has to be the aim.
“As well as we did last season – which we reflected on after the season finished – it's time to park that and focus the upcoming campaign and the future.
“Memories are good but they don’t last forever. We need to focus and we need to be ready to go in the Championship.”
