Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has said that he is delighted with Noel Hunt, after the striker scored twice in their 3-1 win away at Millwall.

Hunt joined the club on a permanent deal from Leeds United last week after an initial loan spell. He celebrated his deal with two goals inside the first 14 minutes, which has led McCarthy to heap praise on the Irishman.

He told reporters: "It was an outstanding performance from Hunty, I'm delighted with him. I said that when we took him on loan and now we've signed him permanently I'm even more happy with him.

"I'm really pleased with the way we played and I'm delighted with the result. It was a difficult day for us to come here and do it and I thought the crowd stuck with them and made it really difficult for us."

Ipswich sit second in the Championship table.
