Last updated : 08 September 2003 By Site Editor

Mahon will take part in his first training session with his new team-mates on Tuesday morning, and is very much looking forward to lining up for the blues : "Ipswich are a Premiership club and I'm really looking forward to spending some time there." he told the Official Club Website.

"It will be great to be back playing first-team football after a while out and hopefully I can get myself noticed and help Ipswich climb up the table at the same time.

"It's an important move for me because players at my age, 25, can disappear from the scene if you are not playing first-team football and I don't want that to happen to me. Ipswich have given me a chance to show what I can do and I'm looking forward to it.

"I know the Club has not had the best of starts but there are some excellent players at Ipswich and the manager Joe Royle and his assistant Willie Donachie are highly respected throughout the game.

"It's an exciting challenge for me. I'm going to the Club to enjoy my football and I hope we can be good for each other. "
