Town have activated an option for a further year on keeper Michael Crowe’s contract. The 19-year-old’s terms were up this summer but he will now remain at Portman Road until at least the end of June 2016.

The Wales U19 international, who has been on the Town first-team bench but is yet to make his debut, recently spent time on loan at Vanarama Conference side Woking where he made four senior appearances.

London-born Crowe, whose father is English and mother Norwegian, joined the Blues in the summer of 2012 from Kristiansand-based side IK Start, having been brought up in Norway. He qualifies for Wales through his grandmother.
