OMARI IS BACK

Ipswich Town is delighted to announce the signing of Omari Hutchinson from Chelsea.

The 20-year-old attacker, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Town and helped the Blues achieve promotion to the Premier League with 10 Championship goals, joins on a permanent basis for a Club record fee.

Omari has penned a five-year deal at Portman Road and will join up with his teammates for pre-season training on Monday, 1 July.

“We’re so pleased to bring Omari back on a permanent basis,” Town Manager Kieran McKenna told the Club website.

“Omari is someone we all enjoyed working with last season and the staff, his teammates and supporters all saw how he grew and developed over the course of the year, which is testament to the hard work he put in.

“The impact he had on the team throughout the season, especially in the latter part, was evidence of that and he, like so many of his teammates, played a significant part in that success for the Club.

“We think Omari is a fantastic player and person to have at the Club for the long-term future. He has a hunger to improve and show that he can compete and thrive in the Premier League.”

Omari's first interview back at the Club will be available to watch on TownTV from Monday.
