New Town signing George O’Callaghan is delighted to have finally made his move from Cork City to Town.

George will be at Town until at least the summer of 2008 after Cork City finally allowed him to join Town.

 

George: “From the first moment I came here, I was knocked back by the place, the Club itself, the training ground, the coaching, the lads, it's all fantastic and I knew this was the club for me.

 

“I had other clubs after me, Sunderland, Hull, Slavia Prague, Hibs and Dunfermline were all interested but once I knew that Ipswich wanted me, that was it. I told them all not to bother.

 

“I know it has taken a while to sort out but I'm absolutely thrilled to be an Ipswich Town player now. I've aged a few years waiting and hoping that everything was going to go through okay and I think Alan Lee is just as pleased as I am that it's all been completed.

 

“I have been staying with him and I have been driving him nuts about the move, wishing it to happen.

 

“Things didn't work out as I had hoped they would at Vale for one reason or another and I see this as a second bite of the cherry for me and I'm not going to waste it," adds the former Republic of Ireland U18 and U20 international.

 

“I'm hungry to be a success at Ipswich, hungry to show the fans here what I can do. I think having gone through the experiences I've had, it's made me so determined not to take what I have for granted.

 

“And what I have is the chance to show the supporters of Ipswich that I can do a job for this Football Club.”
