Ed Sheeran celebrates Ipswich Town's return to Premier League with dressing room singalong

Ipswich Town were joined in their dressing room by singer Ed Sheeran as they celebrated their return to the Premier League after a season away.

The songwriter, a lifelong fan and minority stakeholder in the club, was seen singing The A Team with players at Portman Road.

In a video posted on the club's social media, Sheeran, who was holding a pint of Guinness, can be seen asking the Ipswich players to sing the 2011 hit with him.

Sheeran, a "passive" investor who does not sit on the board, bought his 1.4% stake in the club in 2024. He also previously sponsored the team's shirts with his Mathematics tour.

During Ipswich Town's last season in the Premier League, Sheeran apologised to Manchester United's manager Ruben Amorim after interrupting an interview following a 1-1 draw.

Saturday saw Ipswich beat Queens Park Rangers 3-0 to finish second in the Championship, securing promotion back to the Premier League behind league winners Coventry City.

The game was a must-win for the Tractor Boys - both Millwall and Middlesbrough, who finished third and sixth, could have beaten Ipswich to second place should they have lost.

Millwall beat Oxford United and finished the season with 83 points, just one behind Ipswich. The south London club will now face Hull City in the play-offs, while Middlesbrough face Southampton.
