On 29 January 2008, Šumulikoski signed for Ipswich Town from Turkish club Bursaspor for a fee believed to be in the region of £650,000, potentially rising to over £1 million depending on appearances. Šumulikoski received his work permit on the following day but only received international clearance on 2 February 2008 after a delay by the Turkish FA. He made his debut later that day coming off the bench in Ipswich's 2–1 away win against Sheffield Wednesday. On 16 February 2008, he scored his first goal for Ipswich in his first home start for the club, his fourth appearance overall, in a 2–1 win over Blackpool F.C.
