Goalkeeper Dean Gerken has signed a new two-year contract, with the option of a third, at Ipswich Town and will remain at the club until 2017

The former Colchester goalkeeper, who signed on a free transfer in the summer of 2013 – after leaving Bristol City – has made 57 league and cup appearances for the Blues, although he has found his path to the first team blocked by Bartosz Bialkowski in recent weeks.
