Town’s players continued their promotion celebrations last night when they met up with club sponsor Ed Sheeran.

The Framlingham-based pop star missed Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Huddersfield which confirmed the Blues’ place in the Premier League as he was at the Miami Grand Prix.

However, he spoke to them via FaceTime in the dressing room afterwards and invited the squad out later in the week.

That meet-up took place last night at Chinny’s Sports Bar in Halesworth where the players joined Sheeran to pay musical tribute to manager Kieran McKenna and sing some of Sheeran’s own songs.

Sheeran revealed on Friday that he will be continuing his sponsorship of the Blues in 2024/25.

TimmyH added 11:11 - May 9 If Sheeran loves the club that much (I know he's shirt sponsor again next year) he should be part owner with Gamechanger...or part benefactor.

WeWereZombies added 11:54 - May 9 It's great to see Ed and the players enjoying their success so much but I have a secret worry that if the partying never stops we are going to suffer a bit in the 2024/25 season...

JewellintheTown added 14:52 - May 9 From Miami Grand Prix to Chinny’s Sports Bar, to celebrate with his mates - and sings and pays for it all too. What a guy. Team deserved it. Can't see many other global A-list superstars being quite as down to earth like that. One up on Wrexham & without the TV cameras. Wonder if Elton got an invite.
