BULLARD BECOMES A BLUEPosted on: Thu 25 Aug 2011
Town have completed the permanent signing of Jimmy Bullard after he had his contract terminated by Hull City.
Last season's fans' player of the year has signed a two-year deal at Portman Road.
Manager Paul Jewell had been chasing the midfielder all summer and is delighted to have finally got his man.
"We had been chipping away at Jimmy and Hull all summer to try and sort something out but Hull were adamant that we wouldn't be going out on loan again unless someone paid his wages," Paul exclusively told the Club website.
"He had a few clubs to talk to but Jimmy made it clear that if we could sort out a deal then coming here would be his preference.
"It's a great feeling to know that even though he had the opportunity to go to a Premier League team he still wanted the opportunity to come here.
"Hopefully he can do what he did for us last year and beyond."
