Lambe set to learn contract fate

Reggie Lambe

Bermuda winger Reggie Lambe will this week learn whether he will be rewarded with a new Ipswich Town contract.Town boss Paul Jewell has already made a decision on Lambe’s future at the club but wants to speak with the 20-year-old before making an announcement.Lambe, whose contract expires at the end of this season, has made five appearances for the Tractor Boys this term. He is currently on loan at League One strugglers Bristol Rovers.Jewell said: “I spoke with Reggie’s agent on Wednesday and I need to have a chat with Reggie. He’s doing quite well at Bristol Rovers and I think he’s enjoying it.“These young players find out what it’s really like to play real football down in the lower leagues, it’s good for their education. I’ll speak to Reggie in the next week and let him know what our decision is.”Jewell has told the six first and second-year professionals, who have been offered new deals, that if they don’t sign them they may find it difficult to find a new club.“I think most of them have spoken with agents or have agreed with Simon Clegg that they’re going sign.“But at the end of the day it’s the same with them (as it is for the senior players) it’s their prerogative to say no,” said Jewell.“There are some good young players here but also if they want to go (then it’s up to them).“When they look at what’s available and how tough it is out there, it’s a tight financial market we’re in at the moment and I don’t think there will be many clubs in the Championship spending much money next year, other than maybe Leicester.“It’s getting tougher and tougher for players, certainly younger players who haven’t played many games.”n Another Bermuda player sweating on whether he will he handed a new contract is Nahki Wells, who has yet to push through into the Carlisle side as he enters the final few weeks of the contract he signed in January.
