Ed Sheeran has taken to Instagram to celebrate Ipswich Town’s return to the EFL Championship after four years. The Suffolk side secured promotion on Saturday following a 6-0 thrashing of Exeter City at Portman Road.

Five of the goals were scored in the first 32 minutes.

Bad Habit’s singer Ed is arguably one of the club’s most famous fans and has been the Blues’ shirt sponsor since the 2021/22 season.
