Tyrone Deon Mings is an English footballer who plays for Ipswich Town as a left back. He made his debut for the club on 4 May 2013.[3]
Mings joined Southampton in 2001 as an eight-year-old, but was released in 2009 when the youth budget was axed.[4]
Off the field, Mings has gained a reputation for charitable and generous acts.[5] Mings spent Christmas Day 2013 feeding homeless people[6] and when he was given the number 3 shirt by Ipswich at the beginning of the 2014-15 season he replaced the shirts of fans who had already bought ones with his old number on the back.[7]
Ipswich Town
Mings signed for Ipswich Town in 2013 for a fee of just £10,000. Mings made his debut for Ipswich on the last day of the 2012-13 season against Burnley. Mings went on into the 2013- 14 season starting two more games due to the suspension of Aaron Cresswell. On January 4th 2014 Mings started an F.A. Cup tie against Preston North End at right back instead of his usually left back role.
Following Aaron Cresswell's transfer to West Ham United, Mings was handed the number 3 shirt. Because of this, Mings offered to purchase new shirts for two fans who had bought shirts with his old number 15 printed on the back.[8]
On transfer deadline day Summer 2014, Mings was subject to a £3 million pound bid from Crystal Palace which was rejected by Ipswich. On 20 September 2014, Mings signed a new 3 year contract with Ipswich Town.[9] On 10 October 2014, Mings won the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month Award for September.[10]
