Newcastle United have signed Republic of Ireland international Daryl Murphy from Championship rivals Ipswich for an undisclosed fee.
Murphy, 33, a former Sunderland player, becomes manager Rafa Benitez's 10th summer arrival after signing a two-year contract at St James' Park.
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy confirmed on Saturday night that Murphy, in the last year of his deal at Portman Road, had handed in a transfer request.
"I'm absolutely delighted to get it over the line and really looking forward to it," Murphy told Newcastle's official website. "When I knew the club was interested, it was a no-brainer for me so I'm happy it's all done.
