Colback Pleased to Be Staying at Town - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Jack Colback says he’s happy to be remaining with the Blues rather than returning to his parent club Sunderland. Earlier this week, Black Cats boss Steve Bruce said he had no intention of recalling the 20-year-old from his loan until the end of the season, despite having a number of injuries at present.
Colback told the club site: "I think Steve Bruce has said that I will benefit more from staying here than going back to Sunderland, and that's fine with me.
"I would only have been cover there and would have offered a short-term solution. I wouldn't have been in the team.
"So, as the manager said, it's better for my development to remain with Ipswich and be involved with the first team every week.
"I've felt that from the start and I want to see out the season here and help Ipswich finish as high up the table as possible."
Colback as made 17 starts and eight sub appearances for the Blues this season, scoring four goals.
