Scotland Wants to Extend Town Stay - Ipswich Town News

Striker Jason Scotland says he wants to stay with the Blues beyond his current contract, which is up at the end of June. The 32-year-old netted his fourth goal of the season during Saturday’s 5-3 win at Barnsley.

Scotland said: "I’m just giving my all in each and every game, trying to perform well for the club and then we’ll see what happens. I haven’t talked to the gaffer yet but I want to stay and I’m enjoying my football.”

The Trinidad and Tobago international is one of 18 players whose terms are up this season. In addition to Scotland, Grant Leadbitter, Richard Wright, Mark Kennedy, Tommy Smith, Shane O’Connor, Carlos Edwards, Ibrahima Sonko, Ívar Ingimarsson, Lee Bowyer, Josh Carson, Luke Hyam, Tamás Priskin, Ronan Murray, Cody Cropper and Cormac Burke all have deals which end on June 30th next year, although some of those contracts include options for a further season.

Jack Ainsley and Jamie Griffiths have six-month deals, which are up at the end of this month with the former having been offered a new contract and the latter set to leave and currently training with Colchester United.

Further to that list, Danny Collins's loan is up after Saturday's game against Derby, Keith Andrews and Reece Wabara's spells with the Blues end in January and David Stockdale and Daryl Murphy are due to return to their parent clubs in the summer.
