Fans from Ipswich Town and Brentford have taken to Twitter to respond to Alan Judge after the playmaker thanked supporters for their nice messages over the past few days.

The Republic of Ireland international this past week signed a new two-year deal with Ipswich having previously joined the Tractor Boys from Brentford on a short-term move until the end of the season.

Judge has been warmly received from the Ipswich supporters and he has shown glimpses of his former self having spent the best part of the past two years out injured following a broken leg.

The 30-year-old wanted to show his appreciation to the fans as he commented on Twitter following Ipswich’s victory over Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, and supporters of rival clubs responded in kind.

Judge has started 13 Championship games for Ipswich since joining the club, averaging an impressive 2.6 shots and 2.5 chances created per league outing.

Many feel the playmaker will be a top signing for the club and a standout in League One next season as Ipswich edge closer to relegation despite their win in Lancashire on Saturday.

The 2-1 victory over Bolton was only Ipswich’s fourth league win of the season as they remain bottom of the league table, 13 points adrift of safety with just six games remaining.

Despite their pending relegation to League One, there is optimism around Portman Road and with Judge in their ranks they will stand a very good chance of making an immediate return to the Championship.
