Town boss Paul Jewell has confirmed that the Blues will be offering a new contract to goalkeeper Arran Lee-Barrett. The Ipswich-born keeper returned to the first team for the recent 2-0 home victory over Scunthorpe and has kept his place for the last two games.
Jewell said: "We will be offering Arran a contract. We’ve offered Brian a contract and Márton’s still got his, so we’ve obviously got three goalkeepers.
"I’m not unhappy to have them, but what I do know is that there are three goalkeepers there that want to be number one, which I want - I don’t want people being happy being in the reserves or out of the picture.
"Things can change over the summer, but we’ll see. Certainly I’m quite comfortable having the three of them on the books.”
Lee-Barrett rejoined Town, with whom he had been an academy schoolboy, in August 2009 after Shane Supple’s surprise retirement. The 27-year-old had been training at Playford Road after being released by Hartlepool earlier in the summer.
An initial short-term deal was extended by another 18 months the following January and the 6ft 2in tall former Cardiff, Coventry, Weymouth and Norwich glovesman has now made 17 starts and one sub appearance for the Blues.
Jewell says there have been no new developments regarding any of the other senior out of contract players who have been offered new deals.
Town have no new injury worries ahead of Tuesday’s home game against Middlesbrough with Lee Martin back from his two-match ban.
