Broadfoot Stays at Blackpool - Ipswich Town News

Defender Kirk Broadfoot, who was understood to have been offered terms by Town, has agreed a new one-year contract with his current club Blackpool. The Blues have been mentioned in connection with the Scot since March, having previously been linked after he left Rangers last summer, while Barnsley were also believed to be interested.

The 28-year-old says he’s happy at Bloomfield Road and hints that he also had options back in Scotland: "I obviously signed for a year [at first] just to see how it was and I loved it at Blackpool, the boys I get on great with and everybody about the club.

"I took my time to make my decision because I didn't want to rush into anything. I contemplated staying up the road for family reasons but when you think about it, why not come back to the Championship because it's an exciting league?

"It's not so much on my doorstep but it's not far down for my family and my mum and dad to nip down in the car."
