Fab's Future Fears - Ipswich Town News

Long-serving Town defender Fabian Wilnis is worried for his future after Kevin Horlock was told he could leave on a free transfer during the transfer window.

Fabian is in the last year of his contract, signing a one year extension last summer and feels he may be in the same boat as the midfielder. Town boss Joe Royle hasn't made a similar statement regarding the Dutchman's future, but his situation is very different give his versatility and lack of competition in defence.

"I badly want to stay, because this is my home and I love the club," said Fab. "Kevin's situation has got me thinking and it makes you realise what can happen.

"I might be 35 but, both mentally and physically, I feel 30. I will be doing all I can to stay."
