More Youngsters Agree Deals - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Paul Jewell says a number of the Blues' younger players have committed to remaining at the club for next season, including central defender Troy Brown.
Jewell said: "I think Jack Ainsley’s signed his deal, I don’t think Tom Eastman has yet. I think Conor Hourihane’s agreed to his, as far as I’m aware. Troy Brown’s agreed his.”
Ainsley, Eastman and Hourihane were offered six-month deals, while Brown was handed another year at Portman Road.
Ronan Murray and Luke Hyam had previously signed one-year contracts.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
