Bullard: Best Decision of My Career - Ipswich Town News

Loan midfielder Jimmy Bullard says joining Town in January was the best move of his career. The 32-year-old is with the Blues until the end of the season with manager Paul Jewell having already spoken to Hull City about his possible return in the summer.

Bullard told the club site that he’s loved his time at Town: "I've really enjoyed it here. As I have said before, as soon as I walked into the dressing room I knew it was the right decision. You are never sure about things when you join a new club but it felt right.

"I have never been on loan before, even at 32, but coming here has been the best thing I have done in my whole career.

"I have scored some goals, helped win a few games, made some new mates and played for a great football club, and this is a great football club. The fans have been brilliant to me as well.

"I'm not sure where I will be next year, but put it this way though, I wouldn't be disappointed if it was here."

The former England call-up has two years remaining on his Tigers deal which is worth £45,000-a-week, 21% of their wage bill.

Town will hope to be able to do a deal with Hull which will end the former Wigan, Peterborough and Fulham man’s time at the KC Stadium, although there could also be interest from Premier League sides with Championship leaders QPR already linked.
