Leif Davis has been a vital component of the Ipswich Town squad since joining from Leeds United in 2022. Over the past three seasons, he has played a crucial role in helping the Blues secure promotion from League One. His standout performance in the last Championship season resulted in a record-breaking 18 assists, the most ever achieved by a defender at that level. This impressive feat helped Ipswich finish second and earned them a spot in the Premier League. Davis, whose previous contract was set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 campaign with an option for a 12-month extension, has secured his future at Portman Road by signing a new contract that will keep him with the club until the summer of 2028.
Leif Davis expressed his satisfaction with the new deal, saying: “I am really pleased to have signed a new contract. I have loved my time at the club so far and have improved so much during my two seasons here working with this group of players and under a manager who has done so much for me.”
The manager Kieran McKenna highlighted Davis’s development, stating: “Leif has made huge strides over the last two-and-a-half seasons and has developed well, both as a player and as a young man. We are excited to have the opportunity to work with him for an extended period and are confident he will continue to work hard to improve and develop in all areas.”
In the current Premier League season, Davis has already made eight appearances for Ipswich, contributing by assisting Liam Delap in the 1-1 home draw against Fulham back in August.
