About
George Hirst is an English forward who leads the line for Ipswich Town. The son of former Sheffield Wednesday striker David Hirst, he came through the Owls’ academy before embarking on a journeyman path that took in spells at OH Leuven in Belgium, Rotherham United, Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers. After joining Leicester City, he arrived at Ipswich on loan in January 2023 and proved pivotal in the club’s promotion from League One, scoring seven goals including a strike in the 6-0 rout of Exeter City that sealed the step up to the Championship. Impressed by his contribution, Ipswich signed him permanently in July 2023 on a long-term deal. A physically imposing striker who combines aerial strength with a willingness to run channels, Hirst is contracted at Portman Road until June 2027 and is reported to earn around £25,000 per week.
