Ipswich Town make giant goalkeeper Tomáš Holý their first signing of the summer
Ipswich Town have made their first signing since dropping into League One, with giant Czech goalkeeper Tomáš Holý agreeing to join the club on a free transfer.
The 27-year-old has agreed a two-year deal after rejecting a new contract at Gillingham.
At 6ft 9in, it's believed that Holý is the third-tallest goalkeeper in the world.
He started his career in his homeland at Sparta Prague, but failed to make a first team appearance.
However, he played every minute for Gillingham in League One last season as they finished in mid-table.
“I enjoyed my two years at Gillingham and want to thank them for the opportunity they gave me but it feels the right time to take up a new challenge at Ipswich,” Holý said.
"It's a massive club and I’m looking forward to meeting up with the squad for pre-season and will be ready to play my part in helping Ipswich try to get back in the Championship.”
