Duo Offered New Deals - Ipswich Town News
Boss Paul Jewell has revealed that the Blues are offering striker Ronan Murray and midfielder Luke Hyam new one-year deals. Town have turned down Swindon’s offer for Murray, the 20-year-old having returned from his successful loan spell at the County Ground earlier in the week.
Jewell told the club site: "Ronan enjoyed his time at Swindon. They did make a bid for him but we have rejected it and he's now back with us.
"I have spoken to Ronan and Luke and we'd like to keep them here beyond the summer. We're in the process of offering them new contracts for another year and we'll see how things develop."
Irish U21 international Murray has made one start and eight sub appearances for the Blues, scoring one goal, while 20-year-old Hyam, who made his first league start under Paul Jewell’s management at the weekend, has made 14 starts and two sub appearances at senior level.
