Singer Ed Sheeran to sponsor Ipswich shirt next season

Ed Sheeran

Four-time Grammy winner Ed Sheeran will be the shirt sponsor for his boyhood team Ipswich Town next season, the club announced on Thursday.

The singer, who grew up in Suffolk, will see his logo appear on the men's and women's team shirts. Ipswich are set for a third season in the third tier League One after a disappointing campaign, but were recently taken over by an American consortium.

"The football club is a big part of the local community and this is my way of showing my support," Sheeran said. "I have always enjoyed my trips to Portman Road and I'm looking forward to going back there as soon as supporters are allowed into stadiums again."
