Bermuda international Reggie Lambe has been awarded a new one-year deal by Ipswich Town manager Roy Keane.

Lambe, 19, scored eight goals for Town's reserve team last season and was one of six youngsters to have been given contract extensions yesterday.

The other players were Liam Trotter, Jack Ainsley, Troy Brown, Ian McLoughlin and Shane O'Connor.

"Jack Ainsley, Reggie Lambe, Troy Brown and Ian McLoughlin have all been handed one-year extensions," said Keane.

"We have offered him (O'Connor) a two-year contract because we think he deserves that.

"I have spoken to all of them and they are delighted to have been offered another year.

"It's important that we have a reserve team full of young players next season. We have had senior professionals playing for the team lately, lads like Pablo, Garvs, Lee Martin and they are too good for that level."

Experienced goalkeeper Richard Wright, defenders David Wright and Pim Balkestein, and young midfielder Ed Upson have all failed to earn fresh contracts at Portman Road.

"There have been some very hard decisions to make about good senior professionals, lads like David and Richard Wright who I have decided not to give new contracts," added Keane.

Keane said he is yet to speak to Liam Trotter, who is currently on loan at Millwall. He also confirmed that reserves coach Steve Foley will leave the club at the end of the season, while he will speak with Ian McParland next week. Chris Kiwomya will keep his role as under-18 coach.

Lambe was 'schooled' at the Academy of Somerset Eagles coach Kenny Thompson before signing for Town at the age of 16.

He made his first team debut for the Tractor Boys in a Carling Cup tie at Shrewsbury back in August.
