Alex Bruce's agent says the defender will now not be leaving the Blues during the transfer window. The Republic of Ireland international has turned down Town's offer of a new contract with his current deal up at the end of the season.

Bruce's representative Mike Morris is reported to have said: "Alex will not be going anywhere in this window. He will be seeing out his contact with Ipswich Town.”

If Bruce and Town fail to come to an agreement regarding new terms during the final months of the season, the 24-year-old will be able to leave on a free transfer.
