Ipswich Town youngster Cameron Humphreys signs new deal to remain at Portman Road

Ipswich Town youngster Cameron Humphreys has signed a new three-and-a-half-year deal.

The midfielder has been one of the stories of the season so far with his impressive performances in the middle of the park.

Humphreys made his first start in the league for the Blues in the 3-2 win against Port Vale in October and has featured in 11 games since then, totalling 16 across the campaign.

Having only signed a new three-year deal last summer, the 19-year-old will now remain at Portman Road until 2026, with the club also holding the option to extend his contract by a further year.

"I’m really happy to sign a new contract here," said the youngster.

"The manager spoke to me about it after I had a bit of a run in the team. He congratulated me and said I deserved a reward which comes in the form of a new deal.

"It was a bit of a surprise having only just signed one but I know that there is so much more hard work to come.

"It was really nice that the club came to me with the deal and hopefully I can repay them now with performances on the pitch."

Town CEO Mark Ashton added: "We’re delighted that Cameron has signed another new deal at the club.

"While he is young and still has a lot of development to come, Cameron is a fine example of what can be achieved within the pathway that our Academy creates.

"This contract is a deserved reward, not just for his footballing talent, but also for his hard work and the humility he has continued to show this year."
