Former Ipswich Town winger George Finidi is thrilled with the Blues’ return to the Premier League after a 2-0 victory over demoted Huddersfield in a Championship match at Portman Road on Saturday, according to Punch Sports Extra.
Finidi, who made 46 appearances and scored eight goals for Ipswich Town, was one of the club’s headline acquisitions in 2001, costing £3.1 million from Spanish club Real Mallorca. The new Super Eagles coach was unable to prevent the team’s relegation from the Premier League that year.

Finidi George, a fan favorite during his time at Ipswich Town in the late 1990s, left an indelible mark with his electrifying pace, precise crosses, and knack for scoring crucial goals. His arrival back then had brought a wave of optimism to the club, and his return now is expected to evoke similar sentiments.
The confirmation of Finidi’s return follows weeks of speculation and anticipation among fans, who have been eagerly awaiting news of any potential signings to bolster the squad. With Ipswich Town aiming for a resurgence in the upcoming season, the addition of a seasoned campaigner like Finidi could prove to be a masterstroke.
Speaking on his return to Portman Road, Finidi expressed his excitement at the prospect of once again donning the blue and white stripes of Ipswich Town. He cited his enduring affection for the club and its passionate supporters as key factors in his decision to make a comeback.
Managerial staff at Ipswich Town have also voiced their delight at securing Finidi’s services, praising his experience, leadership qualities, and continued hunger for success. They believe that his presence both on and off the pitch will be invaluable in shaping the team’s fortunes in the upcoming campaign.
As preparations for the new season kick into high gear, all eyes will be on Finidi George as he seeks to pick up where he left off and help lead Ipswich Town to glory once again. With his return, there is renewed optimism and a sense of anticipation swirling around Portman Road, as fans eagerly await the next chapter in the club’s storied history.
