Ipswich Town announce signing of Georgia Timms from Hearts

Ipswich Town have completed the permanent signing of Hearts forward Georgia Timms, the club announced on their official website. The 28-year-old joins after a standout four-year spell with the Scottish Women’s Premier League champions, where she netted 45 goals and helped Hearts claim their first-ever SWPL title last season. The Tractor Girls are currently second in the Championship with 84 points from 46 games, trailing leaders Coventry by 11 points.

Who is Georgia Timms?

Timms began her career in England with Oxford United before moving to Lewes in the FA Women’s National League. She joined Hearts on a free transfer in 2022 and quickly became a key figure, scoring consistently in Scotland’s top flight. Her goal tally of 45 in four seasons highlights her clinical finishing and ability to perform at a high level.

What does this signing mean for Ipswich Town?

Timms is Ipswich Town’s eighth signing of the summer and the fifth player to arrive from the SWPL. Her experience and goal-scoring record will bolster the squad as they push for promotion. Manager David Wright and sporting director Sean Burt played key roles in convincing her to join, with Timms praising the club’s ambition and direction.

What’s next for Ipswich Town?

With the transfer window still open, Ipswich Town may look to add more players to strengthen their squad. The team’s recent form (WDDWD) suggests they are in good shape, and Timms’ arrival could provide the firepower needed to close the gap on leaders Coventry. Fans will be eager to see her make her debut and contribute to the team’s goalscoring tally, which currently stands at 80 this season.
