IPSWICH TOWN’S MANAGER, KIERAN McKenna, has added another Irishman to his roster of talent with the confirmation of the signing of Chiedozie Ogbene.
Ogbene made 30 appearances for Luton Town last year in the Premier League and scored four goals from the wing.
Over the last fortnight, Fermanagh man McKenna has beefed up the Tractor Boys squad by swooping for striker Sammie Szmodics, who netted against Manchester City last weekend, and then this week defender Dara O’Shea joined Ipswich from Burnley.
Ogbene has agree to a four year deal and the fee was £8 million.
He posted on his own X account; ‘I am extremely happy & blessed to be here @IpswichTown. I hope I can help bring great joy and success to this Town for many years to come.’
🎥 Chieo's first interview is available to watch now on TownTV. ⤵️

Well done to Stephen for sharing his story, the mind is a powerful thing and the effects our thoughts can have on our body. I’m sure anorexia is more prevalent than we think with males and does not only affect females. Glad he has come out the other side and his life is going well now.
Immense inner strength to come through it all and hugely considerate and brave to share his journey in the hope of helping others.
Well done Stephen… You battled through and you’ll have a lifelong benefit from the struggle you’ve endured. Best of luck with the rest of your life and of course Round Towers (Lusk) too.
5 and a half stone is 35kg. Let’s say your an 18 year old and ur 83kg and u lose that much then you’re 48kg. Thats really unhealthy and if u don’t eat enough food then youll have no energy for exercise. Sounds awful
@Eoin Murphy:
Definitely a tough station.
His starting weight was 114kg & he lost 35kg to bring him down to 79kg which is very light for a man of his frame.
Some mental battle to win.
@Liam H: sorry i missed that part its a long article. There are some third years in the rugby who weigh more than without an ounce of fat
