Town deal for Brittain
22 Aug 2006 - 08:20:48
Former Newcastle United winger Martin Brittain has joined Ipswich Town on a one-year contract.
The 21-year-old started just one first-team game during his time with the Magpies and is looking forward to more regular action in the Championship.
"I could have stayed at Newcastle. They offered me a new contract for a year but I decided the time was right to move on," Brittain told Town's official website.
"I went to Coventry and Hull in pre-season as well as Ipswich but I have really enjoyed the two weeks here and it's easily the best club I have been at during the summer.
"I could have had another year at Newcastle but I want to play first-team football and it didn't look like it was going to happen there.
"Ipswich have given me that opportunity and I want to repay them for that this season."
