Lee-Barrett Hoping for New Deal - Ipswich Town News
Keeper Arran Lee-Barrett says he's keen to stay with the Blues beyond the end of his short-term deal on January 21st. The 25-year-old came into the Town side in the wake of Richard Wright's injury and Asmir Begovic's return to Portsmouth.
The one-time Blues academy scholar said: "Hopefully, the manager will see me as part of his long-term plans and offer me the chance to continue playing here as I have enjoyed it so much.
"Hopefully my future is with Ipswich, but if it isn't then hopefully I have done enough to secure a long-term deal with another club that has noticed my performances.
"My agent has told me that a few clubs are keen, but I have told him to see what Ipswich say first because I love it here."
Last week, Roy Keane said he would be speaking to the former Hartlepool man about a new deal, having been impressed with him during his time at Portman Road.
