Ipswich midfielder told he won’t play again this season

Ipswich Town midfielder Alan Judge has broken his silence after it was confirmed he won’t play for the League one side again this season.

The 32-year-old has played 29 games this season and one more start would trigger a 1-year extension, which the club are not willing to offer.

Judge, despite being fit, will now not play for the rest of the season.

After fans questioned why this was the case, he took to social media to shed some light on the situation and explain how he feels about it all.

He said: “Now that I’ve had a few days to think and to just let things settle.

“With the last year that I’ve had this is not the way I wanted to end my time at Ipswich town, but this is football. In all honesty nothing surprises me anymore in this industry.

“I was made aware of my contract situation on Thursday morning that if I played one more game from the start my contract would be extended. We both came to the agreement there was no point in risking our positions from both side’s perspective.

“Me and my family have built up a great life here and met some lovely people at Ipswich in and out of the club. We have thoroughly enjoyed living in Suffolk.

“We now await our next adventure wherever that may take us.”

You can understand from the club’s position if they don’t have plans for Judge to be in the team next season then there is no point in triggering a new deal.

However, it’s very harsh on a football player who just wants to play the game, but now he’ll be a free agent in the summer it’d be a surprise if a club doesn’t snap him up.
