Ben Godfrey sends message to Ipswich fans after confirmed news
Ben Godfrey has taken to social media to send a message to the Ipswich fans after completing his loan move to the club.
The 26-year-old joined Kieran McKenna’s side on a six-month loan from Serie A side Atalanta, having joined the Italian side from Everton in the summer.

Speaking to the club’s in-house media team, Godfrey said: “I have really enjoyed speaking to the Manager (Kieran McKenna) and to have the opportunity to work under him now is something I’m very excited about.”
