Arran Lee-Barrett Signs For Ipswich

Former Hartlepool United goalkeeper Arran Lee-Barrett has joined Ipswich Town on a short-term contract.

Much criticised by Pools fans, Lee-Barrett was released by Pools in the summer after conceding 81 goals in 46 games last season.

He had trials at Norwich and Yeovil over the summer but neither club opted to sign the former Weymouth man.

He goes straight into the squad for Town’s game at West Brom this Saturday and he was delighted to join manager Roy Keane at Portman Road.

”It’s a fantastic opportunity for me and I’m grateful to the manager for the chance. The challenge for me now is to try and impress him and win a longer contract.” he told the Ipswich official site.
