Ipswich Town midfielder Cole Skuse has said that he can't wait to start playing for the club.

The 27-year-old has moved to Portman Road on a three-year deal after his contract with Bristol City expired at the beginning of this month.

He has become manager Mick McCarthy's first signing of the summer.

"Straightaway you can see that this is a huge club," Skuse told Ipswich's official website.

"Walking around the offices and you can see that the walls are decked with photographs showing the history of Ipswich Town and it's great to be a part of the club now.

"I've had a look around the town and the stadium today and I'm looking forward to meeting the lads when we return for pre-season. I'm eager to get going with Ipswich now."

Skuse made 307 appearances for Bristol City.
