Ipswich Town Women have re-signed Ava Baker from Birmingham City on loan until the end of the 2026/27 season.
The England U20s winger scored once and provided two assists in her nine appearances during her loan spell in the second half of last season.
Baker told itfc.co.uk: “I’m delighted to be back at Ipswich after a really enjoyable time here last season.
“The ambition and drive of this club is one of the big reasons which made me want to return and I’m really excited to get going in the new season.”
Sean Burt, Technical Director, added: “We’re really pleased to have Ava back with us for the new season. She settled into the group quickly last year and showed exactly what she’s capable of whenever she was called upon.
“Ava is a player with real quality and a fantastic attitude, and she’s someone who is always looking to improve. We’re excited to continue working with her and have no doubt she’ll play an important role for us this season.”
