Ed Sheeran’s got another string to add to his impressive bow as the singer has officially been added to Ipswich Town FC’s squad list for the upcoming 2021/22 season.
The Bad Habits star, 30, has been a life-long supporter of his local team, Ipswich Town, even being the kit sponsor of the League One club.
The football club announced the news with a photo fo Ed donning their shirt with ‘Sheeran 17’ on the back, adding: ‘Ed Sheeran will have number 17 next to his name on Town’s official squad list for 2021/22!’
Ed said of his inclusion in the squad list: ‘This is bonkers really, isn’t it! When Ipswich told me I thought they were joking but I love the idea.
‘I think this is going be a great season and I’m honoured to be a part of it. I just hope this squad number is only ceremonial because I want to see us promoted and that’s not going to happen if I’m playing!’
The hitmaker added: ‘The football club is a big part of the local community and this is my way of showing my support.

‘I have always enjoyed my trips to Portman Road and I’m looking forward to going back there as soon as supporters are allowed into stadiums again.’
Ipswich Town’s CEO Mark Ashton said in a statement: ‘Having Ed involved is fantastic for the football club.
‘We saw pictures of him wearing the 17 shirt when he was at the Club to perform his Euro 2020 TikTok concert so Paul and I spoke about it and we agreed to offer Ed the chance of that squad number.
‘It’s our way of thanking him for his support and we look forward to welcoming him to Portman Road this season.’
Manager Paul Cook added: ‘Isn’t it great for the Club that we have got someone of Ed’s stature supporting his local team.
‘Hopefully he’s going to be in the official team group as well. The players will love that and if we can show on the pitch the creativity that Ed shows with his music, we will do okay this season!’
