Coppinger Signs New Doncaster Deal - Ipswich Town News

Doncaster Rovers midfielder James Coppinger, a Town target earlier in the summer, has signed a new contract with the South Yorkshire club. In May, the Blues had a £300,000 offer for the 30-year-old rejected along with a £2.3 million bid for striker Billy Sharp.

Unconfirmed reports have claimed Town have made subsequent offers for the former Exeter man, but Rovers’ longest-serving player putting pen to paper on a deal until June 2014 would appear to end any hopes Paul Jewell had of signing the Guisborough-born winger.
