Bermuda international Reggie Lambe will find out over the next few weeks whether Ipswich Town will offer him a new deal.

Town manager Roy Keane is set to hold talks with those players whose current contracts expire at the end of the season once he has met with club owner Marcus Evans.

"They'll probably all know in the next week or two. A lot of these things have to be looked at, not just players, the budget, where we'd like to go with the staff and the gym," said Keane.

"All these things are on hold until I get a chance to sit down with the owner and get the thumbs up for X amount or whatever it might be.

"That happens at every football club, you take stock and you reflect on what you feel needs improving, particularly for myself after my first year at the club."

Keane said that ideally he would have preferred to have spoken to some of the younger professionals before now. "We'll sit down next week and speak to the boys who we feel we want to be part of that young, hungry reserve group next year, along with Luke Hyam, Tom Eastman and the rest from the youth team.

"There's Reggie Lambe, there's Jack Ainsley, Ed Upson and a number of other players. We probably didn't want to leave it this long but the way that the season has panned out, I plan to sit down with these players early next week."

David Wright, Richard Wright and Shane O'Connor are the most prominent Town players whose deals are up this summer.

Pim Balkestein, Ed Upson, Jack Ainsley, Liam Trotter, Reggie Lambe, Troy Brown, Devann Yao and Ian McLoughlin also see their terms end in the close seaso.

Lambe, 19, made his Town debut in a Carling Cup tie at Shrewsbury at the start of the season.
