Miller Keen to Stay With Blues - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Tommy Miller says he is enjoying his third spell with the Blues and hopes to be offered a new contract. The ex-Hartlepool and Sunderland midfielder's current deal is up at the end of the season.

Miller told the club site: "I'm enjoying my football here and I would like to stay. I've not heard anything yet, but I'm sure I will be talking to the club in the next month or so and we'll see what develops from there.

"We have a lot of competition for places here but I've had a run in the side over the last two months and I need to keep that going until May.

"If I can stay in the side and do well for the team, then that will give me a better chance of getting something sorted out for next season.

"Obviously, I'd like to get something done before the summer, but for now I'm just concerned with playing games and staying in the team."

Miller was with the Blues as a youngster but was released at 15 and moved on to Hartlepool. In the summer of 2001 he returned to Portman Road, leaving in 2005 for Sunderland but coming back again in 2007.

Earlier in the week, chief executive Derek Bowden told TWTD that the club will wait before offering new deals to the numerous out of contract players: "I don't think there will be any more contracts offered until the end of the season.

"That's not to say we won't offer contracts to the players who are out of contract, but we won't do it before the summer. We'll take stock at the end of the year.”
