Ed Sheeran has celebrated Ipswich Town’s promotion to the Premier League by singing alongside the team’s players in the dressing room.

The singer-songwriter, who bought a minority stake in the football club in 2024, was filmed singing his hit song The A Team with the victorious squad.

In a video posted on the club’s social media, Sheeran, who was holding a pint of Guinness, can be seen asking the Ipswich players to sing the 2011 hit with him.

The celebration came after the Tractor Boys defeated QPR 3-0 on Saturday, marking their return to the Premier League.

The players and boss Kieran McKenna all obliged, with several players filming the moment.

Sheeran is best known for his songs including Shape Of You, Thinking Out Loud and Don’t.

He has had 14 UK number one singles and nine UK number one albums, and his latest album, Play, was released last September.
