Hyam Set for New Deal - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that midfielder Luke Hyam is set to follow Tommy Smith in being offered a contract extension by the Blues.
Hyam re-established himself as a first-team regular in the second half of the season under Mick McCarthy having been less in favour during previous boss Paul Jewell’s time in charge.
Shortly before Jewell’s exit in October last year, Hyam signed a contract until the summer of 2014 with an option for a further season.
Earlier this month Smith signed a new deal until the summer of 2016 and it’s likely that former Northgate High School pupil Hyam will be offered terms along similar lines.
The 21-year-old broke into the Town first team in the 2010/11 season during Roy Keane’s time in charge and has now made 48 starts and seven sub appearances, scoring once.
