Kyle Edwards joins Ipswich after West Brom exit
Former Albion winger Kyle Edwards has joined League One Ipswich on a three-year deal.
Born in Dudley, Edwards was snapped up by the Baggies when he was just six years old.
In total, the 23-year-old featured 49 times for the first-team, with five of those appearances coming in the Premier League.
But he was released at the end of last season and has been on the hunt for a new club ever since.
Edwards spent time or trial at both Bournemouth and Reading.
Celtic had also been linked to the former England under-20 international.
But he has now turned down interest from other Championship sides to join Ipswich – who are among the favourites to win promotion from League One.
Edwards will join friend and former Albion team-mate Rekeem Harper at Portman Road.
“I’m at a point where I need to be playing consistently,” he said.
“I want to show people what I can do and I think this is a great place for that.”
“I’m excited by the project here.
Ipswich chief executive Mark Ashton added: “Kyle is a player that we have pursued all summer and we have beaten a number of Championship clubs to his signature.
“I’m sure he will be a great addition to the squad.”
