Fab Misquoted - Ipswich Town News

Dutch veteran Fabian Wilnis says he has not been offered a testimonial by the Blues, despite a Dutch report claiming he had been given a game as part of his new one-year deal. Wilnis has now signed his new contract.

Wilnis told the club site: "I want to make it clear to everyone that I have not been given a testimonial.

"I have been away over the last week and came back to find a lot of messages on my phone asking about 'my testimonial', which confused me.

"I did an interview with a Dutch magazine and they asked me about whether I would be awarded a testimonial and I said that I hadn't thought about it at all. Even after next season it would only be nine-and-a-half years, so it wasn't something that I had discussed with the club.

"I was totally misquoted and have made that clear to the magazine. I also want to make it clear to the supporters I have definitely not been granted a testimonial.

"I am thrilled to be at the club for another year and I'm really looking forward to next season. I'm sure it's going to be an exciting one."
