In a heartfelt turn of events, Conor Chaplin has officially confirmed his departure from Ipswich Town, marking the end of a memorable chapter for both the player and the club. The 27-year-old forward, who played a pivotal role in the club’s recent rise, took to social media to share an emotional farewell message with supporters, teammates, and staff, as news of his exit was formally announced.
Chaplin’s message struck a personal and grateful tone, reflecting on his time with the club that helped shape the most successful years of his career to date.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone connected to Ipswich Town,” Chaplin wrote. “It’s been an unforgettable journey — one filled with incredible memories, tough battles, and moments I’ll cherish forever.”
Chaplin joined Ipswich in July 2021 from Barnsley and quickly established himself as a fan favourite. Known for his intelligent movement, clinical finishing, and unwavering work ethic, he became a crucial figure in the squad. His contributions were vital in Ipswich’s promotion push from League One and their competitive campaign in the Championship that followed.
In the 2022-23 season, Chaplin was particularly instrumental, finishing as one of the club’s top scorers and earning praise for his consistency and leadership on the pitch. Fans admired not only his footballing ability but also his humility and connection with the local community.
Though the club has yet to disclose the full details behind Chaplin’s exit, reports suggest that the forward is pursuing a new challenge — potentially at a higher level or abroad. Speculation has already begun to swirl around his next move, with several Championship and lower-tier Premier League clubs reportedly monitoring the situation.
Ipswich Town, meanwhile, released a brief but respectful statement confirming the departure.
“We can confirm that Conor Chaplin will be leaving Ipswich Town following the conclusion of his contract. Conor has been an outstanding professional throughout his time at Portman Road, and we thank him for his service to the club. We wish him nothing but success in the next stage of his career.”
Supporters have responded with an outpouring of messages, thanking Chaplin for his service and reminiscing about some of his most iconic goals and performances. From last-minute winners to tireless shifts in pressing from the front, Chaplin’s impact at Ipswich will not be forgotten.
The timing of Chaplin’s departure comes as Ipswich look to rebuild and strengthen their squad ahead of the next campaign, with promotion ambitions still in sight. His absence will undoubtedly be felt, but the legacy he leaves behind will serve as inspiration for both current players and incoming talent.
