Ipswich Town: Cameron Burgess shares message with supporters
Ipswich Town centre-back Cameron Burgess has reached out to supporters with a sincere and uplifting message, reflecting on the club’s recent journey and expressing deep gratitude for the unwavering backing he and the team have received.
Burgess, who played a pivotal role in Ipswich’s remarkable rise from League One to the Championship and then into the Premier League picture, took a moment to connect with the fanbase during the offseason. His message was both personal and powerful — an acknowledgment of the passion, patience, and support shown by the Tractor Boys faithful throughout the campaign.
In a statement shared via Ipswich Town’s official media channels, the Australian international highlighted the emotional highs and challenges of the previous season while offering optimism for the future.
“It’s been an unforgettable ride,” Burgess said. “From the start of the season to that final whistle, every one of you stood by us — through the big wins, the setbacks, and the moments that tested our character. You’ve been incredible.”
Burgess, who joined Ipswich in 2021, has become a key figure in Kieran McKenna’s system, known for his composure on the ball and tough defensive presence. His consistency at the back has earned him recognition from fans and coaches alike, and he’s been praised for stepping up in crucial moments, particularly during the club’s promotion push.
But beyond the pitch, Burgess is known for his grounded nature and strong connection to the community — something that was evident in his message.
“Playing for this club isn’t just about putting on a shirt each weekend,” he said. “It’s about representing something bigger — the people, the town, the history. Every time I walk out at Portman Road, I feel the energy you bring, and it pushes us that little bit further.”
The 28-year-old also took the opportunity to speak about the bond within the dressing room, crediting the “togetherness” and “genuine hunger” of the squad as key ingredients in their progress. According to Burgess, Ipswich’s recent success is only the beginning.
“There’s something special building here,” he noted. “And the belief from you, the fans, has helped shape that. We’re not satisfied — we’re hungry for more.”
Supporters reacted positively to the message, flooding social media with comments of appreciation, admiration, and anticipation for what lies ahead. Many pointed to Burgess as a model professional and a key figure in maintaining the club’s culture during a time of rapid growth and change.
Manager Kieran McKenna also acknowledged Burgess’s impact earlier in the season, calling him “a player who leads by example” and praising his maturity both on and off the pitch.
As Ipswich Town prepare for a fresh challenge in the top tier, messages like this from players like Burgess reinforce a sense of unity and purpose between the club and its loyal supporters. It’s a connection that’s only grown stronger — and one that could be key to sustaining their momentum.
