Howells Staying at Luton - Ipswich Town News
Luton midfielder Jake Howells has signed a new three-year deal with the Hatters. The out-of-contract 21-year-old was understood to have been offered terms by the Blues but instead has opted to remain with with the Blue Square Bet Premier side.
Wales U21 international Howells, who plays at left midfield and left-back, was a player Town had been keeping an eye on since the 2010/11 season, although Howells himself reportedly says he knew nothing of the Blues' interest despite widespread reports linking Town with a move for him in January.
Howells' new deal at Kenilworth Road is understood to make him one of the club's highest-paid players.
