Town midfielder Jack Taylor has signed a new contract with the Blues, taking him to the summer of 2028.

The 27-year-old joined the club from Peterborough United in the summer of 2023 and was part of the squad which won promotion to the Premier League in his first season.

Taylor has made 23 starts and 57 sub appearances for the club, scoring seven goals, most notably the winner at Wolves in the Premier League last season.

“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract with the club,” Taylor, who is currently away with the Irish squad, said.

“I have had so many fantastic experiences over my two years at the club so far and have enjoyed every opportunity I’ve had to play for Ipswich Town, so it was an easy decision to extend my stay.

“I have improved so much as a footballer during my time working under the manager and coaches here and I look forward to pushing on further over the next few years and helping the team achieve its goals.”

Monkey_Blue added 12:37 - Oct 10 Surprised. We must have upped his wages a lot to ensure he was happy to sign so we can get a fee because he’s not getting much of a look in on the pitch.

Paulc added 13:05 - Oct 10 Don't be at all surprised if he plays a vital role in some way should we have a successful season. He will obviously do it from the bench or maybe starting a cup game but he opitimises the role and attitude a squad player should bring.

AljoBlue added 13:07 - Oct 10 very surprised. can only be to protect some sale value. was sure he would be gone in january. big question mark as to player's ambition as he is miles behind cajuste, nunez, matusiwa, and all of our attacking players in terms of starting player, maybe in the cup if he is banned from taking a penalty.

Everydayblue added 13:12 - Oct 10 We'll need players like Jack Taylor to step up as fixtures come thick and fast... Low maintenance squad players have an important role to play. This gives Jack the opportunity to try and kick on. And also protects the value of our player, should he move on at the end of the season.... It's a win , win for me. Nice to see a sensible lad except and appreciate his role at the club, without throwing his toys out of the pram..

Gazelle added 13:12 - Oct 10 Obviously happy to be on the bench each week, lives locally, kids settled at school why wouldn’t he want to stay.

PortmanTerrorist added 13:15 - Oct 10 Every winning squad needs players like Jack. Might not reach the heights of others but never lets you down. The last promotion squad benefitted so much (and so easily forgotten) from his input and that of Jackson and Harness, and we should never devalue any player who knows and can operate in McKenna's game plans. Delighted for Jack and expect him to get plenty of minutes this season off the bench AND starting as we get into the weeds of the season.

WhoisJimmyJuan added 13:19 - Oct 10 Surprised but delighted tbh. I agree with those who say he could be vital as a squad player. He is also a link with the last promotion winning squad. But more than that I'm just pleased he wants to stay: can't be bad in the dressing room and training ground.

ArnieM added 13:20 - Oct 10 Have to admit, im very surprised by this by Town. Ill leave it at that .

Monkey_Blue added 13:36 - Oct 10 My surprise isn’t that we’d want him as a squad player and to protect his value, it’s more that he will likely play, injuries and form of others aside, less minutes than he did last year in a higher division… my surprise is more that he’s happy and we must have bunged him quite a bit to make him happy because I don’t see he’s been told he will be a regular starter or even a shoe in from the bench.

bugblatter added 13:54 - Oct 10 Recently read a bit of click-bait claiming he’ll be sold in January. I won't be tempted to click in future…

Len_Brennan added 14:05 - Oct 10 A bit reminiscent of the surprise when Woolfie signed a new contract, despite clearly being behind O'Shea in the manager's eyes & unlikely to start many games. Good to have him in the squad this season, as we'll need plenty of cover, during 3 game weeks especially.

TimmyH added 14:15 - Oct 10 You won't see many minutes from him this season unless the injuries stack up in midfield...very average player in my opinion and surprised he's got a new contact as others have said maybe to protect leaving on a free but didn't we sign him for £1.5M and can't believe he would go for much more than that but then we let Morsy go on a free...

number8 added 16:11 - Oct 10 We do need players in that role and down the list at the moment. So fair play to him for backing himself.

Tellitasitis added 16:54 - Oct 10 So based on not being a regular in the side that clever from Ipswich same as woolfenden sign longer deal give him a slight payrise then they can demand a better fee due to length of contract he is on. He won't be with this time next year.

armchaircritic59 added 18:09 - Oct 10 Think we might need him and one or two others in December and the start of January. 8 games in 31 days!

armchaircritic59 added 18:27 - Oct 10 On another related note. For those great supporters who regularly travel away as well as attend the home games. If you get asked over the next month or so what you would like for Christmas, may I suggest your answer be " A Swiss bank account please and could you make it 3/4 weeks early " :)

ArnieM added 18:58 - Oct 10 Tellitasitis: the same thought also crossed my mind, because if I was Town I'd be looking to offload Taylor, and try and resign Morsy

bluesince76 added 20:09 - Oct 10 Don't rate him but If we get a lot of injuries he'll probably do as cover.

Dutchman1 added 21:39 - Oct 10 Always liked him. Excellent that first night in Birmingham when it started to get a bit tasty.
