Ipswich Town forward Sone Aluko has signed a new one year deal at Portman Road, as the Blues prepare for life back in the Championship.
The 34 year old, who joined from Reading in 2021, has made 55 appearances for the club so far scoring three times.
He'll be sticking around until at least the summer of 2024.
Speaking to the ITFC website, Sone said: “It’s good to get done and I’m happy to extend my time at the Club.”
“The conversations started with the Manager maybe at the end of the season before, about what we might do at this point, and obviously to now be staying after promotion is even sweeter.
“The Manager has been fantastic since he came in. The on-pitch stuff speaks for itself but he is also a really good person. We get on really well and see the game in the same way.
“Everyone here has been really good to me and this is a fantastic place to be.”
Manager Kieran McKenna said: “Sone is so important to the environment and the culture here day-to-day.
“He’s highly regarded by his team-mates, first and foremost, but also the staff around the Club.
“Sone has shown his quality on the pitch but of course had a big injury last season. He’s shown what he can do and the FA Cup games last season instantly come to mind.
“He shows his quality on the training pitches day-to-day but perhaps more importantly is his influence on the group and our younger players.
“I think he will have a very bright future in football in other aspects once he finishes as a player, so we’re delighted he is going to be around the group next season.”
