Town boss Mick McCarthy says he expects midfielder Jay Tabb to move on at the end of the season, the 32-year-old having made only four starts - all in cup competitions - during 2015/16.
"There’s every chance Tabby will move on in the summer,” McCarthy said. "But for now he’s still one of our players.
"Tabby will know that, he’s not played many games this season, and yet he was one of the reasons we stayed up the year we did [2012/13] because he added so much to it.
"I remember his debut at Peterborough and he was great. He was just a little dynamo that kept going and I think he’s well-loved and respected by all the fans for what he does. But we’ll see, he might be one that moves on.”
The Town boss added: "He trains every day, he’s uncomplicated, low maintenance, he’s a terrific guy, a really top, top pro.”
Tabb has made 61 starts and 24 sub appearances for the Blues, scoring five goals, having signed on a Bosman in the summer of 2013 having been released by Reading after a loan spell at the end of the previous season.
Meanwhile, McCarthy says contract talks with Luke Hyam and Tommy Smith are progressing, keeper Bartosz Bialkowski having penned a new deal last week.
"Positively, I think,” he said. "We’re in discussions. I’ve started the ball rolling with [owner] Marcus [Evans] and then with the players and Marcus is discussing it with their agents and I’m sure we will come to an agreement because both of them are happy here and want to play.”
