BREAKING: Kalvin Phillips Joins Ipswich Town From Man City On A Season Long Loan—-Kalvin Phillips has just signed for the EPL newbies Ipswich Town as he’s seeking for regular football ahead of the new season and will link up immediately with Kieran McKenna’s side and could potentially be available for the 2024/25 season-opener against Liverpool on Saturday.  

The 28-year-old midfielder, who spent the second half of last season at West Ham United, will link up immediately with Kieran McKenna’s side and could potentially be available for the 2024/25 season-opener against Liverpool on Saturday.  

Kalvin, who will wear the number eight shirt during his time at Town, progressed through the ranks at Leeds United where he clocked up 234 appearances and won the Championship title in 2020.  

Following promotion, Kalvin continued to be a mainstay in the Leeds team and helped the club to a top half finish in the Premier League.  

Kalvin’s form attracted the attention of Gareth Southgate who called him up to the England squad in 2020, earning his first cap in September against Denmark in the Nations League.  

He has won a total of 31 caps for his country, including playing every game during UEFA Euro 2020 as England reached their first final of a major tournament since 1966.  

Kalvin later signed for Manchester City in 2022 where he has played 31 times for Pep Guardiola’s side to date.  

Speaking after completing his move to Town, Kalvin said: “This is a day I’ve been waiting a number of weeks for now and I’m very happy to be here. 

“I’ve had some great conversations with players I know here and also with the Manager, who I have obviously heard a lot about, and I’m excited to be here and be part of his team, playing how he likes to play the game.  

“The conversations with Kieran McKenna and Mark Ashton have been really good and I followed Ipswich’s season closely last year, so I know the journey the Club has been on and it’s a great story which I’m now excited to be a part of.  

“I want to play as many games as possible, enjoy playing football again and help the team win as many games as possible in the Premier League.”  

Town Manager Kieran McKenna added: “We are very happy to have Kalvin here and he is a fantastic signing for the football club.   

“He is of course a high-calibre, experienced midfielder who has played at the highest levels of the game, in both club and international football.   

“He’s had a fantastic career up until this point and we believe he is going to be a big addition to the group.   

“Kalvin has much to offer us in terms of his qualities both on and off the ball, and he is a really humble and likeable character. He has been a key member of a newly-promoted team in the Premier League before and of course made a big impression for Leeds United during that period.  

“Like all players who come here we want to try and help them improve, whether that’s a younger player or one with more experience. That’s a big part of our culture and we’re sure Kalvin can make some big steps with us to help him and the Club have a really positive season.”

Imperfectly Awesome Conversations Summit (IAC) 4.0

Imperfectly Awesome Conversations Summit (IAC) 4.0 set to ignite transformational dialogue on May 3, 2026

 

The fourth edition of the Imperfectly Awesome Conversations Summit is set to take center stage on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the MUSON Centre, Lagos. Building on the growing momentum of previous editions, this year’s summit signals a deliberate and powerful shift from inspiration to activation with a structured intervention aimed at reshaping how individuals navigate identity, adversity, and personal growth in an increasingly demanding world.

 

Accordingly, IAC 4.0 is positioned as a catalytic platform designed to challenge existing narratives, provoke deeper thinking, and ultimately drive a new paradigm across leadership, personal development, and the broader communications ecosystem.

 

Convened by renowned marketing and communications leader, Omotola Bamigbaiye, the Imperfectly Awesome movement has steadily evolved from a deeply personal literary expression into a dynamic, living experience. Initially birthed through her book, Imperfectly Awesome, the initiative has, over time, transformed into an influential annual convergence where authenticity takes precedence and real-life journeys redefine success.

 

By centering the message of “being enough,” the summit challenges limiting narratives that hinder innovation, leadership, and inclusive progress. The summit will deliver two high-impact panel sessions:

  • Resilience & Tenacity — examining how individuals and organizations can sustain performance and purpose amid disruption
  • Authenticity: Embracing Your Whole Self — exploring the role of self-awareness and identity in effective leadership and lived experience

Additionally, a maiden edition of IAC awards to recognize and spotlight individuals and organizations whose journeys exemplify courage, consistency, and meaningful societal impact.

As anticipation intensifies, attention increasingly turns to the calibre of speakers confirmed for this year’s edition, these are individuals whose personal and professional trajectories reflect resilience, leadership, and transformative impact.

Leading the conversation will be Dr Segun Ogunsanya , Chairman Airtel Africa Foundation and  Mrs Godrey Ogbechie, Group Executive Director, Rain Oil Limited.  Additionally, Hon Mojisola Meranda, Deputy Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Moremi Ojudu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-West), O’tega Ogra, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital Engagement and New Media,  Dr Folayinka Dania, Chief Resilience Officer for Lagos State and CEO of the Lagos State Resilience Office, Princess Sarah Sosan, Former Deputy Governor of Lagos Sate and others whose presence is expected to bring strong perspectives on governance, inclusion, and purposeful leadership. Furthermore, panelists will offer critical insights into grassroots connection, deepen discussions around adaptability, systems thinking, sustainable leadership in uncertain environments. Citizen engagement, and the power of community-driven change.

Collectively, these speakers will not only share success stories; rather, they will unpack the realities behind those successes, moments of doubt, setbacks, recalibration, and eventual triumph. Consequently, attendees will engage with narratives that are honest, unfiltered, and deeply human, thereby reinforcing the summit’s core philosophy, which is, that imperfection, when embraced, becomes a powerful driver of growth.

Moreover, the 2026 edition introduces a sharpened thematic focus centred on courage over comfort, consistency over perfection, and action over Fear. Through this lens, the summit will actively encourage participants to move beyond passive inspiration and instead adopt deliberate, actionable mindsets capable of reshaping both personal and professional trajectories.

Attendance remains open to the public and notably, participation is free.

Interested individuals are encouraged to register via the official links:
