Ipswich Town forward Conor Chaplin has penned a new three-year deal at the club.

The 26-year-old scored 29 goals in all competitions last season as the Blues secured promotion to the Championship. 

He had been heading into the final year of his initial three-year contract at the club, signed after a £750k switch from Barnsley in 2021.

"It feels amazing," he told the club website.

"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.” 

Chaplin, who also serves as a trustee of the Ipswich Town Foundation, has made 99 appearances during his two seasons with the club and has scored a total of 40 goals. 

"The break’s been good but it’s a case of getting back into the work gradually. It’s not long now until we’re back in for pre-season,” continued Chaplin. 

“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 on 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.”
