Ipswich Town have signed defender Cedric Kipre on a season-long loan from French club Reims.
The 28-year-old has plenty of experience of English football with Leicester, Wigan, West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City, the latter a loan spell in 2022-23.
The Ivory Coast international made 28 appearances for Reims last season after joining them from West Brom.
The Ligue 2 club say that the loan agreement with Ipswich includes an option to buy.
"I spoke with the manager and I really liked what he said about the way he wants to work," Kipre told the club website. "He wants to work hard – I also want to work hard."
Ipswich begin the new Championship season, following relegation from the Premier League, with an away game against Birmingham City on Friday, 8 August.
