Ipswich Town midfielder Owen Garvan says he wants to stay at Town and help the club become a premiership force.

The 18-year-old is on the verge of signing a new deal which will see him stay at Town for a long time which is something he wants to do.

 

Owen: “I want to stay and make Ipswich a force in the Premiership again, it seems a while ago now when Ipswich finished fifth in the top flight and were mixing it in the UEFA Cup with the best sides in Europe.

 

“To repeat that would be a huge achievement, but with the management and players we have it can be done.

 

“While I am pleased that players like Darren Bent and Darren Ambrose are making big impressions in the Premiership with Charlton, it only adds to the frustrations as far as Ipswich are concerned.

 

“I see myself staying with Ipswich for many years yet. They gave me my chance and have given me a perfect football education - as well as looking after me so well since I left Dublin.”
