He has been impressive for Ipswich’s Under-21s this term, but will now earn senior experience.
“Ashley is another top prospect and one we’re buzzing to see sign,” Phillips said.
“He’s a completely different type of striker to what we currently have and he’ll learn a lot here.
“He’s hungry and keen to make an impact and we’ll be looking to get the best out of him during his time here.
“We’d like to say a huge thanks to Ipswich Town for trusting us with one of their top talent’s development.”
