Ipswich Town centre-back Dara O’Shea has signed a new five-year contract with the Championship club.
The 26-year-old Republic of Ireland international joined Town last summer and played 35 Premier League games in 2024-25.
He began his career at West Bromwich Albion and made his top-flight debut for Burnley two seasons ago, adding a further two appearances at the start of last term before moving to Portman Road.
“He has real experience, despite still being relatively young for a central defender, and we believe he has the ability to further improve in the years to come,” said head coach Kieran McKenna.
Ipswich will find out on Thursday who they will play at the start of the new season following last season’s relegation.
“We learned a lot last season and that will be really important for us going forward. I’m glad to have signed this new contract and I am ready to get to work again in pre-season,” said O’Shea, the club’s Player of the Year.
“There are good characters and good human beings at this club and I want to help deliver success again and help the club get back into the Premier League. This is a massive club but it can continue to grow and I’m excited.”
