Tottenham youngster Massimo Luongo has put pen-to-paper on a new contract at White Hart Lane until 2014 before joining Championship club Ipswich Town on a season-long loan deal, the Premier League club have confirmed.

The 19-year-old Australian joined Spurs in January 2011, having impressed on trial after deciding to leave APIA Leichhardt Tigers.

His only senior appearance for the Lilywhites came during last season's League Cup defeat to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium, when he replaced Sandro as a 70th minute substitute.

Confirming the move on Twitter, Luongo wrote: "Happy to have Things sorted at Ipswich.. It should be a good experience for me at this great club."
