Starlet departs Town to sign with Scottish side on permanent deal

Tete Yengi has left Ipswich Town for an unknown amount to join Livingston in the Scottish Premiership.

The forward joined the Blues from the Newcastle Jets in the summer of 2021, however he did not make a single professional appearance for the club.

Yengi spent the most of his time on loan, enjoying excellent spells at Finnish clubs Vassan Palloseura and Kuopion Palloseura, where he won the Player of the Year award.

He also played for Northampton Town in the second half of the 2022/23 season, where he helped them achieve promotion to League One.

The 23-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Livi, who are currently bottom of Scottish football’s premier division.

“Ipswich Town have been very helpful and done everything they can to help facilitate the transfer,” Livingston manager David Martindale stated.

“The player comes in with a large sell-on for Ipswich Town and a small contingency built in if we can manage to retain our Premiership status next season.”
