Town had to win the Sky Bet Championship clash with mid-table QPR to guarantee their autopmatic promotion, with both Millwall and Middlesbrough were hot on their heels.

The Lions beat Oxford but Boro could only draw at Wrexham, which meant Ipswich finished a point clear in second place.

"It’s hard to enjoy to be honest," McKenna said. "You just really want it for everyone else, the lads who haven’t had it in the group and for the supporters and your family, it means so much.

“I really enjoyed winning 3-0. I’m really proud of my family for again the support they give me, really proud of the staff and the group.

“It’s not been easy for that group of players but they’ve really stuck at it and you can’t ever understand how hard it is to get into the Premier League. It’s a great achievement.

“What was done before will never be repeated, it was special to do it, back-to-back from League One with basically the same group I don’t think it will be repeated again.
