Luke Woolfenden helped Ipswich Town secure back-to-back promotions to reach the Premier League
Luke Woolfenden has shared a message with Ipswich Town fans after his move to Coventry City was confirmed.
The defender left Portman Road for a £4m package, hoping to play regular football under Frank Lampard at the CBS Arena.
He departs his boyhood club after 16 years, having come through the academy before making 215 appearance at senior level and helping the Blues secure back-to-back promotions to reach the Premier League.
“It has been an absolute honour to represent my hometown club for so long,” he said.
“When I joined the academy as such a young boy I would never have believed I would go on to make so many appearances for the first-team, let alone achieve everything we have in recent years.
“I have seen a lot during my time at the club and there have been some difficult periods as well, but to be a part of such a special time for the club and win back-to-back promotions to the Premier League will live with me forever.
“So many people have helped me along the way and I’ve played with so many special teammates who will be friends for life. I’ll always be grateful.
“It will be strange to not be an Ipswich Town player, but the club will always have a special place in my heart.”
