Singer Ed Sheeran, a big Ipswich fan, helped the club promoted to the Premier League this season to recruit a player this summer, its president revealed on Thursday. The 33-year-old English popstar has sponsored the jerseys of the Ispswich men’s and women’s teams since 2021. But according to the manager of the Suffolk club, Mark Ashton, Ed Sheeran “from the region, global superstar, sponsor, shareholder and now official member of our recruitment unit”also played a key role in recruiting a player by making a video call to him. “Last summer we tried to persuade a player to join the club and quickly realized he was a fan of Ed Sheeran. Ed gave him a Zoom call right before he went on stage with Taylor Swift” during a concert on August 15 at Wembley.
