Cambridge United are pleased to announce the signing of Dom Ball…
The 29-year-old midfielder arrives at the Cledara Abbey Stadium on a two-year deal.
Ball has history with the U’s, having made his professional debut at the Club whilst on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in 2015. He made 11 appearances during his initial spell.
A move to Rotherham followed, where he spent much of his time out on loan at Aberdeen, before signing with QPR, where he made 99 appearances over a three-year spell.
His next stop was at Ipswich Town, where he helped the Club to back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier league, before signing with Leyton Orient at the beginning of last season.
“I am delighted to get it finally done.” Dom said. “To get it done before pre-season was important to me and to come to the Club where I made my professional debut was massive.
"I have been lucky to be involved with a lot of successful teams and you can take a lot of lessons from that. I hope to help set the standards."
Neil Harris added, “I am delighted to be able to bring Dom to the football club. He has represented some fantastic football clubs, achieved some wonderful promotions and is a player that has excelled at all levels.
“He is going to bring some hugely important qualities to the changing room and the pitch this season. He plays with a real aggression and calmness to be able to help control football matches and I look forward to working with him."
Ball joins Purrington as United’s second signing of the day, ahead of the squad’s return to pre-season testing on Tuesday. He will wear number 4.
