Sears: Club Has Shown Faith in Me - Ipswich Town News
Striker Freddie Sears says the club has shown faith in him by offering a new contract while he is sidelined with a long-term injury.
The 29-year-old, who is out until November having suffered an ACL injury at Norwich in February, signed a new deal which runs to 2021 earlier today with the club having an option for a further season.
"We've been in talks for a while, probably since January or February time, so I'm delighted to have signed the new deal," Sears told the club site.
"I was in my option year and when that's the case you want to get something sorted as soon as possible.
"I don't think my situation, in terms of being injured, helped me or the club but I'm pleased it's sorted.
"The club has shown faith in me by offering me a deal while I'm sidelined.
"I will continue to focus on my rehab and try to repay that faith when I return. I'm desperate to get back fit and do the best I can for Town."
