One year contract with a 12 month option extension for long serving Blue

Cole Skuse has signed a new one year deal at Town.

The midfielder was in the last year of his contract, though Blues did have a year’s extension option but the two parties have now agreed a new deal that will take Cole into his eighth season at Portman Road.

Since joining the Club from Bristol City in the summer of 2013 as a free agent, the 34-year-old has clocked up 273 appearances for the Club.

“We are delighted to have agreed a new contract with Cole,” Town’s general manager football operations, Lee O’Neill, told the Club website.

“It includes an option for an additional year and while Cole’s focus will be on the football side it gives us time going forward to look at the other qualities he has that could be beneficial for him and the Football Club.”
