Town will offer new deals to out-of-contract trio Fabian Wilnis, Jaime Peters and Ian Miller. All three are likely to accept the extensions to their spells at Portman Road.

Boss Jim Magilton says the veteran Dutchman, 37, has done more than enough to earn another year with the Blues: "Fabian has done great for us again. He is at an age where his quality and experience are vital around the building."

Magilton will also start talks with Canadian winger Jaime Peters's agent this week with a view to agreeing a contract before making moves to secure a new work permit for the 19-year-old.

Former Bury Town man Ian Miller has been offered a two-year deal after making great strides during his first season as a professional. The 23-year-old impressed during loan spells with Boston United and Darlington this season and made his Blues debut in the 3-0 victory over Plymouth.

Darren Currie, Darryl Knights, James Krause, Sammy Moore and Martin Brittain are all also out of contract this summer.
