“I remember my first spell here and I’ve gone away and worked very hard on myself during that time, so I’m delighted to be back and can’t wait to get going.

“I was really excited when I spoke to everyone here and now I just want to meet the group, get out on the pitch and contribute.”

Moore has joined an Ipswich side well in contention for promotion to the Premier League. Kieran McKenna’s side currently sit second in the Championship table, one point ahead of third-placed Southampton and two ahead of fourth-placed Leeds United.
