Defender Alex Bruce is not ruling out his loan move to Leicester being made a permanent one in the summer if all goes well. Bruce joined the Foxes on loan until the end of the season last Monday.
The Irish international said: "I am an Ipswich player but we will look at it at the end of the season and, if all goes well, then we will take it from there."
Bruce, 25, says the prospect of a play-off place attracted him to the Walkers Stadium: "The fact City are after promotion was a big temptation to come here because Ipswich aren't doing that well at the minute, although I am sure they will turn it around.
"Now I have the chance to play in a promotion push and every player would want to be involved in that.”
Bruce says he was surprised when he heard of Leicester’s enquiry: "City's interest came a bit out of the blue. I spoke to Roy Keane and he gave me the option, and I just felt the time was right for a change.
"When a club like Leicester City comes knocking it is always an honour. I thought it was the right opportunity.
"When I went to the [Leicester-Newcastle] game the other night it reinforced my thoughts about what it would be like, when I saw the big crowd and imagined the big games. They are chasing promotion as well and everything as a whole seemed right.
"I spoke to the manager [Nigel Pearson] after the game and it just felt right. I am now looking forward to the challenge.”
Bruce is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2011, having signed a new deal last summer.
