Wilson Signs New Contract - Ipswich Town News
Blues centre-half James Wilson has signed a new 18-month Town deal with the club having an option for a further season.
The 30-year-old joined the Blues on a short-term contract which ran until New Year’s Day in the summer following a successful trial after his Lincoln City deal was cancelled by mutual consent.
Wilson, who has been capped once by Wales, has enjoyed an impressive start to his Blues career and has made 11 starts.
The Newport-born defender is delighted to get his future sorted having enjoyed his first few months at Portman Road.
"I'm really happy to have signed," he told iFollow Ipswich. "It's all come about quite quickly over the last few days but I am pleased it's sorted now.
"When I joined in the summer I wanted it to be for the long term and as soon as I arrived I knew I'd enjoy it here. Everyone at the club has been so welcoming so it has been perfect.
"I'm enjoying life on and off the pitch and bar the last couple of games things have been going really well for us.
"Last night was disappointing for everyone but I'm confident we can turn things around and find our form again. I like it here and I'm excited to see what's in store moving forward."
