Skipper Carlos Edwards has agreed to sign his new contract with the Blues. TWTD revealed that the 33-year-old had been offered new terms last Thursday.
The new deal will see the Trinidad and Tobago international remain at the club until at least the end of next season, while there is an option for a second year which will be triggered after the midfielder-turned-right-back makes a set number of league appearances.
The summer of 2009 £1.35 million signing from Sunderland is understood to have taken a significant cut in pay from his previous deal with Town looking to reduce their overall wage bill with the Financial Fair Play rules being introduced next season.
Chief executive Simon Clegg says talks have gone well with the ex-Luton and Wrexham man: "We have had good dialogue with Carlos over the last few weeks and I'm delighted to confirm that we have agreed terms with him over a deal for next season."
Meanwhile, Blues boss Paul Jewell was the Town champion at yesterday’s club golf day at Hintlesham. Damien Delaney won the prize for the longest drive.
Amongst the Blues players and coaching staff present and past playing alongside the club's corporate supporters were Tommy Smith, Aaron Cresswell, Daryl Murphy, Lee Bowyer, Alex McCarthy, Chris Hutchings, Sean McCarthy, Andy Liddell, Russell Osman, John Wark, Charlie Woods, Matt Holland, Bryan Hamilton and Geraint Williams.
