Defender James Wilson has been rewarded for his fine start to the season with a new deal which will keep him at Portman Road until the summer of 2021.
The former Lincoln man, who's been capped once by Wales, arrived at Town on a free transfer in the summer but has since proved himself to the Ipswich faithful and boss Paul Lambert with a series of impressive displays.
As a result, the club moved quickly to tie him down to a new longer term deal, offering him an 18 month contract extension.
The Blues will have the option to extend the deal for a further 12 months.
Wilson's calm, confident and assured showings in his 11 appearances so far this campaign have been a big part of Town's resoluteness at the back.
They've conceded just nine goals all season, with four coming in the last two games - one of which Wilson missed following his red card at Fleetwood.
