The 33-year-old captained Ipswich Town to back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League.

He made 34 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring once and providing one assist, before Town were relegated to the Championship.

Morsy began his 15-year career in England with Port Vale, followed by spells at Chesterfield, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Middlesbrough prior to joining Ipswich four years ago.

He made 165 appearances and scored 11 goals during his tenure at Portman Road, describing his captaincy as "the biggest honour of my career".

“We have had some incredible days and nights together and I will remember many of these for the rest of my life,” he told the club website.

“Achieving back-to-back promotions allowed me and many of my team-mates to achieve our dreams of playing in the Premier League, so I will always feel indebted to [manager] Kieran [McKenna], his staff, everyone at the club and the supporters for helping us get there.”
