Canadian international Jaime Peters has left the club after his contract was terminated by mutual consent. TWTD revealed that the club were in talks with the 25-year-old’s representatives regarding ending his contract a fortnight ago.

Jewell said: “Jaime Peters has left, his contract has been terminated by mutual consent. We wish him well. It just hasn’t worked out for him while I’ve been here.

“We’ve got Carlos at right-back, Jack Ainsley and now Elliott Hewitt. In terms of wide players, we’ve got JET, Josh Carson and Lee Martin, and it was always going to be difficult for him to break in.

“He went to Bournemouth last year and had a month there. It’s not personal, it’s just every manager has a different opinion of different players.”

He knows some supporters will have been keen to see the versatile Ontario-born player stay at the club but the Blues boss says he didn’t fit into how he sees his team going forward: “I know he’s a bit of a fans’ favourite because when we brought him on at Leicester the fans were really pleased.

“But for whatever reason, he didn’t fit in to what we want to do. He’s a good lad, we’ve never had a second’s problem with him and I’m sure he’ll get a club. As I say, we wish him well.”

The player himself added: “I’d like to wish Ipswich Town all the best for the future.

“I have some good memories from my time at the club and always enjoyed a good relationship with the supporters, but it’s important at this stage of my career that I’m playing football, so it’s best if I move on.”

Peters, who was the club's longest-serving player, joined Town in 2005, having been on trial in 2004. He also spent time with Chelsea, Manchester United and Millwall before opting to join the Blues, a move which was delayed by red tape relating to his work permit.

Capped 26 times by his country, Peters made 71 starts and 43 sub appearances for the Blues, scoring four times. In addition to his time with the Cherries, he also had spells on loan at Yeovil and Gillingham while at Town.

In January, he was close to joining SPL side St Johnstone on loan but was prevented from doing so by the three club rule.

bluemingood added 17:22 - Aug 23 I am sad. Saw him play one game as attacking central midfielder and thought his power, vision and passion were exemplary. Never played there again. Weird.

readtheleaguetable added 18:53 - Aug 23 Very disappointed that Canada's direct link to Town has gone. From Twamley to Forrest and Yallop and then to De Vos, it seems there has always been someone. Better sign Jackson now.

tractorboy12341234 added 18:55 - Aug 23 I cant believe he didn't get a game, he played unbelievably good in the CC semi final! He is mighty quick and he could play all over the pitch. Plus he's always Ipswich's only fast player on fifa!

Guthrum added 19:23 - Aug 23 Good man, great "heart", shame it hasn't worked out. However, I think this outcome is probably best for both parties. Best wishes for the future, Jaime, hope you find a good club to go to.

village_blue added 23:37 - Aug 23 Lawshallgirls longest serving player now is Tommy Smith. Jim Magilton gave him his debut and no one else of the current squad played under him.

TractorBeezer added 23:50 - Aug 23 Good info village-blue. I find it fascinating that our current longest serving player is only 22. We are rebuilding though and I am liking what I see so far.

oldegold added 05:08 - Aug 24 Thought he should have been given a fairer crack of the whip considering that ITFC nurtured him and brought him on. Good luck in your future endeavours Jaime !
