Ipswich Town have signed Chelsea forward Omari Hutchinson in a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who has two caps for Jamaica, made his Premier League debut as a substitute in a 1-0 home defeat by Manchester City in January.

And he again came off the bench three days later when the two sides met in the FA Cup, City winning 4-0.

"We think he is a good fit for us and we can be a good match for each other," said Town boss Kieran McKenna.

"He is a wide player who can give us different options and is direct, can attack and test the opposition in one-v-ones and has good pace.

"This is his first senior loan so we have to he is very young, but he is a player we are excited to have the group."

Hutchinson is Ipswich's fourth summer g following Jack Taylor, Cieran Slicker and George Hirst.

Following last season's promotion, Ipswich start the new campaign with an away Championship game against Sunderland on 6 August.
