Cresswell looking forward to Ipswich return

Cresswell is looking forward to his return to Portman Road

New West Ham signing Aaron Cresswell is delighted to have the opportunity of returning to Ipswich Town and saying goodbye to the Portman Road fans this Wednesday.

The 24-year-old moved to Upton Park at the start of July, following three seasons in East Anglia where he made a total of 138 appearances scoring seven goals.

His new club continue their pre-season preparations with a visit to the Tractor Boys on Wednesday, and Cresswell is looking forward to the prospect of thanking the club once and for all.

He told the official club website: “It’s great to have the chance to come back to Ipswich and properly say my goodbyes to the players, the staff and the supporters.

“Ipswich put faith in me and I want to put on record my sincere thanks to the owner, Mick McCarthy and Paul Jewell – who signed me – and the fans at Ipswich for their fantastic support over the past three years.

“I genuinely wish Ipswich every success for the season ahead and I’ll be keeping an eye on their results.”
