Chief executive Simon Clegg and manager Mick McCarthy have paid tribute to striker Jason Scotland, who, as TWTD reported yesterday, has left the club by mutual consent after his contract was settled.

Clegg told the club site: “I’d like to thank Jason for his services to Ipswich Town Football Club and wish him every success for the future.”

McCarthy added: “Jason is a fantastic guy and has been great around the training ground but we are going younger and he’s been missing out.

“He understands that and wants to go out and play football at the twilight of his career. We wish him well.”

Doncaster and Wolves are leading the chase for the 33-year-old, while Barnsley, Brighton and Preston have also been monitoring his situation.

Infineteregress added 20:23 - Jan 21 Best of luck to him. Always gave 100% and scored some quality goals in the process. I'm sure he'll do just as well at his next club, wherever that might be.

AbujaBlue added 22:41 - Jan 21 There aren't many strikers in recent times at ITFC who I've been reassured to have on the bench and happy when he came on the pitch, but Scotland was one of them. A true servant of the club. Good luck to him!
