After completing his signing, Van Ulfren will travel to La Manga, Spain this week to join Ipswich Town, who are currently training there for pre-season.  

After completing the signing, Kane van Ufren expressed his expectations, saying: "When I learned that Ipswich wanted to sign me, I quickly realized that this was a transfer I really wanted to make. I am very excited to be here, and I hope to continue developing in England and to learn and grow at such an ambitious club. The team has just returned to the Premier League and is currently in a very promising phase. I can't wait to meet my teammates and start training as soon as possible."  

Ipswich Town manager Gary O'Neill welcomed Kane van Ulfren's arrival, saying, "We are delighted to sign Kane van Ulfren and bring him into our goalkeeping team.
