Town Exercise One-Year Option On Donacien - Ipswich Town News
Town have exercised a one-year option in defender Janoi Donacien’s contract, tying the 29-year-old to the club until the summer of 2024.

"I’m delighted to have it confirmed that I will extend my stay at the club for another year,” Donacien told the official website.
"This is a great group to be a part of, so I’m excited to continue that next season.
"For now, though, my full focus is on helping the team achieve what we want to achieve in the coming weeks.”
