Wright Wants New Deal - Ipswich Town News
Full-back David Wright wants to stay at the club beyond the end of his current contract in June. Wright says his family are happy in Suffolk and that he loves the club.
The former Wigan and Crewe man told the club site: "It can play on your mind when you have only got six months left on your contract.
"When it hits you is when you get asked to put down your children's names down for school, things like that. Not knowing my future is a bit scary. Not knowing my kids' future is worse.
"If things don't go as I hope they do, then I'm going to have to uproot the family and try and get them settled somewhere else and the whole process starts again.
"So that's what plays on your mind, but that's another part of the game. You have to get on with it and I can't let it affect me.
"I have to play well, work hard and stay in the team and hopefully that will bring its rewards because I definitely want to stay here. I love the club. I love the area and so do my family."
Wright joined the Blues from Wigan for a fee of around £200,000 in January 2007.
