Striker Jason Scotland says he wants to stay with the Blues beyond his current contract, which is up at the end of June. The 32-year-old netted his fourth goal of the season during Saturday’s 5-3 win at Barnsley.

Scotland said: “I’m just giving my all in each and every game, trying to perform well for the club and then we’ll see what happens. I haven’t talked to the gaffer yet but I want to stay and I’m enjoying my football.”

The Trinidad and Tobago international is one of 18 players whose terms are up this season. In addition to Scotland, Grant Leadbitter, Richard Wright, Mark Kennedy, Tommy Smith, Shane O’Connor, Carlos Edwards, Ibrahima Sonko, Ívar Ingimarsson, Lee Bowyer, Josh Carson, Luke Hyam, Tamás Priskin, Ronan Murray, Cody Cropper and Cormac Burke all have deals which end on June 30th next year, although some of those contracts include options for a further season.

Jack Ainsley and Jamie Griffiths have six-month deals, which are up at the end of this month with the former having been offered a new contract and the latter set to leave and currently training with Colchester United.

Further to that list, Danny Collins's loan is up after Saturday's game against Derby, Keith Andrews and Reece Wabara's spells with the Blues end in January and David Stockdale and Daryl Murphy are due to return to their parent clubs in the summer.

Tractastic added 18:49 - Dec 13 Great game against Barnsley and looked a real threat dropping deep.Has worked hard to regain his place,has a good mental attitude and a blistering shot and i would definitely offer him a one year extension.Its nice to hear an ITFC player saying 'I want to stay' unlike a number who have recently been on the site saying 'We'll see what happens' We need players who are going to work hard and give their all for ITFC.COYB and Scotland to score the winner against Derby..

Tractamatt added 19:24 - Dec 13 We should offer him 2 years then sell to a league1 club jan 2013 we get the best we can from him and a small return on his purchase price.Just a thought.He has been great this season though.Also think we should try and keep hold of Murphy as well.

brd added 22:49 - Dec 13 Why is everyone saying to let him go? If we let him go on a free we'd have wasted 750k effectively and let a striker go who has, in most appearances this season, played very well and played a great game against Barnsley. We wouldn't be able to sell him for much at all, to be quite honest. Also, I see people on here always talking about "GET SOME PEOPLE IN PROUD TO WEAR THE SHIRT" ... this is a player who a lot of the fans took a disliking to after below-par, frustrating performances in the latter of last season that has, HOWEVER, lost weight in the summer and is now wanting to stay in the team that had just lost 7 consecutive matches. This is a player who wants to wear the Town shirt. Keep him.
