Reo-Coker Talks Set to Begin - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that Town are set to begin talks with midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker regarding an extension to his Blues contract later this week. The 28-year-old’s short-term deal is up after Saturday’s game at Cardiff.

Last week, manager Mick McCarthy confirmed that he was keen to keep the former Aston Villa, Bolton, West Ham and Wimbledon man at Portman Road: "I want him to stay but that’s down to him. We’ll speak to his agent. Nigel knows I want him to stay and hopefully he will.”

Reo-Coker has made nine starts and two sub appearances since joining the Blues in October.

Meanwhile, Blues legend Paul Mariner has been sacked from his job as head coach of MLS side Toronto FC. QPR's New Zealand international defender Ryan Nelsen is his replacement.
