Town have announced that skipper Luke Chambers has signed a new two-year deal.

Town boss Mick McCarthy says he will not be offering striker Luke Varney a new contract but that full-back or midfielder Kevin Foley could stay at Portman Road.

Town have launched their two new kits for next season. At home the traditional blue is augmented with more red than in previous years, while it’s a return to white and black away from home.

Boss Mick McCarthy hailed the Blues’ 1-0 win at Huddersfield as a “huge result”, Ben Pringle’s first goal for Town having seen his side back to winning ways after three successive defeats.

Midfielder Teddy Bishop hopes he can play a part in helping the Blues finish in the top six as he finally closes in on a return to action after missing the entire season so far through injury.

Boss Mick McCarthy believes the Blues aren’t getting the national media coverage they deserve given that they’ve spent most of the season in and around the play-off zone. Tuesday’s 2-1 home victory over Reading saw Town return to sixth.

Town boss Mick McCarthy felt his side thoroughly deserved their 2-1 home victory over Leeds United, despite Brett Pitman’s winner coming two minutes into injury time.

Goalscorer Kevin Bru felt it was important for the Blues to end 2016 on a winning note at home after the 2-1 victory over Bristol City on Friday. The 28-year-old Mauritius international, who was making his first start since October, netted his first goal of the season to put the Blues in front in the 39th minute.

Luke Chambers is enjoying a successful central defensive partnership with Tommy Smith and predicts a tremendous future ahead for his younger team-mate.

Manager Mick McCarthy says Tyrone Mings will be in and around the first team squad very quickly if he plays as he did in his trial match on Monday. The 19-year-old signed an 18-month deal with the Blues earlier this afternoon after the club agreed a deal with the Evo-Stik Southern League side, which includes a pre-season friendly at the Wiltshire club.
