Ipswich Town Chairman David Sheepshanks has confirmed that Town will receive just under £1million following Kelvin Davis’ sale to Sunderland.

The 28-year-old joined Sunderland today for a fee of £1.25million, a small slice of which has gone to MK Dons as part of a sell on clause which saw him join Town in 2003.

 

Sheepshanks: “Firstly I would like to thank Kelvin for his service while with us and wish him all the very best at Sunderland, This was a somewhat unexpected deal which has taken time to conclude.

 

“The fee, which contrary to some earlier reporting, gives the Club a net return of just under £1 million. This is too great an amount to refuse for a player with just one year left on his contract.

 

“Funds are now available to the manager for further strengthening the squad and I know Joe has a number of irons in the fire”
