Enciso: Thanks For Supporting Me and For the Love
Monday, 26th May 2025 10:26
Departing loanee Julio Enciso has said his farewells and thanked everyone at Portman Road following his half-season spell at the club.
The 21-year-old, who joined the Blues on loan from Brighton in January, made 12 starts and one sub appearance, scoring two goals, the first in the 2-2 draw at Chelsea and the second the stunner at Everton, which ended in the same scoreline.
Speaking after yesterday’s game against West Ham, Town boss Kieran McKenna revealed Enciso had been left out of the side as he was keen to utilise players who are more likely to be at Portman Road next season, while also allowing the forward, who he said had a minor niggle, to prepare for Paraguay’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil.
Speaking on Instagram in a video of the highlights of his time at the club, Enciso said: “Hello Ipswich fans, I want to thank you for this time that you have been supporting me and for the love.
“I take with me the best of you and also thanks to my teammates and coach Kieran for giving me the confidence. I wish you all the best.”
Enciso, who has a year left on his Brighton contract, has been linked with a summer loan move to Porto in Portugal, while Brazilian side Flamengo are also believed to be interested.

poet added 10:30 - May 26That sounds like a goodbye message. We’ll miss him, he’s been a superb influence on the pitch. All be it a little too impetuous.
However, I’m a little concerned.Im 100 percent behind McKenna as our manager, however, I’m a little concerned with his comments, and I quote, “we just focused on the game with the boys who have been with us who are going to be with us going forward.”(Did that indicate that Cajuste could be staying? I hope so, he’s a talented player). However, I looked at the lineup, our bench, the watching players who are injured etc, and apart from a few exceptions, I felt there were too many who are decent players, but not good enough to propel us back into the PL. That’s just my opinion, some may disagree. But according to McKenna’s comments, it looks as though he thinks differently.Another thing, I’m also 100 percent behind our CEO Mark Ashton, he’s a very passionate man who has worked very hard for our club, but since our relegation was confirmed, I feel it’s been deafening by his silence. During the after match parade I thought he looked dejected and very unhappy. Yes he’s obviously very disappointed, as we all are.A question I think we all want to be answered is, will there be a decent ‘war chest’ to strengthen the squad? At the beginning of the season he was very positive, full of verve and enthusiasm for the task ahead. I just think that if he intends to deliver a similar speech for the next task ahead, I feel, considering McKenna’s above mentioned comments, now would be a good time to do it.||

He was a fun watch! Enjoyed having him at the club even though he's a massive hogger and has got to learn when to pass more! Him Delap were having a competition there for a while to see who could get a shot off quicker without remotely thinking to pass to a team mate. Hopefully he'll win another Goal of the Season for the Everton cracker!||
