Ipswich Town midfielder Matt Richards is set to a sign a contract that will keep him at Town until the summer of 2009.
The 21-year-old has been at Town for over 10 years is out of contract in the summer is set to sign a new contract that will keep him at Portman Road until 2009.
Town manager Joe Royle: “We are delighted that Matt has agreed to a new contract, we have been waiting for a chance to see Matt play in midfield for a while and I have always felt his attributes were better suited to that department.
“He has probably not been quite strong enough at times defensively and I say only at times because on many occasions he has been excellent at full back but with his superb fitness, good touch and lovely left foot, I certainly see his future here in midfield.”
