Four to Sign Friday? - Ipswich Town News

Boss Joe Royle says he will be speaking to Jim Magilton, Fabian Wilnis, Jimmy Juan and Dean McDonald on Friday morning and hopes all four will be signing contracts.

Royle told the club site: "I'll be speaking to all four players first thing in the morning.

"We are hopeful that all four will sign and the indications are encouraging. Fabian looks positive and Jimmy Juan has said that he will be here next year.

"Dean's agent has told us he will sign and the word is that the skipper will be with us for another year, but I have not heard that directly.

"I'll know where we stand when I speak to the players on Friday morning."

Magilton, McDonald and Wilnis have been offered one-year contracts, while Juan is set to put pen to paper on a one-year loan deal.
