Town in Contract Talks With Hyam - Ipswich Town News
Town have begun talks with midfielder Luke Hyam regarding a new contract, TWTD understands.
The 24-year-old’s current deal is set to end in the summer, although the club has an option for a further season.
Hyam has recently returned to action after almost 11 months out with a knee injury and manager Mick McCarthy, a big fan of the former Northgate High School pupil, is keen to extend his stay at the club he supported as a boy.
We understand a contract - probably along the lines of the two-year deals with options for third seasons recently handed to other senior players - isn’t too far from being agreed.
Over the weekend, Hyam was linked with Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City and Bristol City, while a number of other clubs are also keen on the academy product, who spent time on loan at Rotherham before Christmas.
Hyam is expected to return to the Town starting line-up for this evening’s home game against Reading in place of the suspended Jonathan Douglas.
