Ed Sheeran was caught singing along to his song Perfect <\/em>with Ipswich Town players and staff after their 3-0 win over Hull.<\/p>\n

The singer had earlier been seen pulling pints for fans at Portman Road, as part of his return home during a three-week break from his US tour, meeting the club\u2019s players for the first time.<\/p>\n

The singer grew up in Framlingham in Suffolk and still has a place of residence in the area and grew up supporting the club.<\/p>\n

“He came down to the dressing room afterwards, which was nice,” said manager Kieran McKenna, reported by East Anglian Daily Times.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s so busy doing marvellous things, so this was the first time the players had met him.\u201d<\/p>\n

“They had a little bit of a sing-song together – \u2018Perfect\u2019. That\u2019s a moment for everyone to enjoy – players and staff. He\u2019s an important part of the football club and we really appreciate his support.”<\/p>\n

Sheeran has had a long-standing history with the club and has been their front-of-shirt sponsor since the 2021-22 season. He also received a token League One promotion-winners medal.<\/p>\n

When Sheeran took over the shirt sponsorship, the club sold more home shirts than it had for 15 years and included a collaboration on a blackout third kit, which sold out in record time. All of the kits have included a design from Sheeran\u2019s Equals album.<\/p>\n

Ipswich have enjoyed a stellar start to the current season and Tuesday\u2019s victory over Hull saw them move to the top of the Championship, with 25 points from their opening 10 matches.<\/p>\n

Marcus Harness, Conor Chaplin and Wes Burns were on target for the club, and manager McKenna wants his side to keep enjoying their time on the field.<\/p>\n

Ipswich only secured promotion to the second tier of English football last season, when they came second in league one, behind winner Plymouth Argyle.<\/p>\n

But so far this season they have taken to the Championship, and sit ahead of former Premier League Champions Leicester, although the Foxes have played one game less.<\/p>\n
