Speaking to iFollow Ipswich, Davis said: "I am delighted to be here. This is the best step for me at this point in my career.
"I want to play games and help the team in any way I can. I'll always give it my all when I am out on the pitch and I can't wait to meet the fans at Portman Road."
Ipswich boss McKenna added: "We're really happy to have Leif with us. This is one the Club has worked hard on this summer.
"He is a player that fits the bill of what we want. He is young, hungry, athletic and technically very good.
"Leif has played games in pre-season and we are hoping he will be ready to make an impact early on. He'll get plenty of support from the staff and fanbase, and I know everyone will be excited to see him play."
