FOREST Green's on loan striker Ben Morris has signed a new contract at parent club Ipswich Town.

The 19-year-old, who joined on transfer deadline day, has penned a two-and-a-half year deal, with the option of a further year, at Portman Road which will keep him at the club until 2021.

Morris is keen to make his Rovers loan a success and hopes it can help force his way into Ipswich's first team in the future.

“I’m really happy to have the contract sorted,” He told the Ipswich's club website.

“This Club means a lot to me and I’m looking forward to getting back here and playing some football.

“I had a slow start with Forest Green but my loan spell there has been improving,”

“Hopefully I can get some more games under my belt and add a few goals because I’ve been learning a lot during my time with them.”

Morris has scored one goal in eight appearances in all competitions for Mark Cooper's side.
