McAuley: Nothing New On Contract Thursday, 10th Mar 2011 15:23 Central defender Gareth McAuley says nothing has changed regarding his contract situation. The Northern Irishman’s current terms are up in the summer and, like skipper David Norris, he turned down the new contract which was offered before Christmas. McAuley says he’s happy with where things are at present and is keen to remain at Portman Road: I’m cool with the situation and nothing has changed recently. “We have got to ensure that this football club stays in this division next season and I have got to ensure that I perform as well as I can. “Nothing will probably happen to the end of the season, but being able to stay with a club like this is something worth fighting for. “Jim Magilton told me when I signed that players don’t want to leave a club like this. And he has proved true to his word.” The 31-year-old says he’s not looking to do a deal with another club despite having been able to talk to other clubs since January: “I’ve told the lads that are working for me to keep me in the background. I don’t want them to phone me about this, that or the other. “It’s not what I want — I want to concentrate on my football and doing well, and hopefully things will take care of themselves.”
