Out going Town skipper Jim Magilton expects Jason De Vos to become the next skipper at Town and to do a good job as his replacement.

Jim got his final home game for Town against Derby on Saturday and he has just one more chance to wear the blue shirt again before leaving Town and heading back to the north east to look for a player/coach role.

 

Jim: “I have a lot of respect for Jason and if he takes over the captaincy - which looks likely - I know he will go on and prove to be an excellent skipper for this football club, he has always been vocal and is an outstanding individual who has impressed me since he first arrived at the Club.

 

“I know he will carry on the fine traditions of Ipswich Town and be an inspirational skipper.

 

“This is a magnificent football club and being made skipper here is a huge honour. I certainly saw it that way when Joe gave me the job.

 

“I've had many highs in my seven years at Ipswich Town but being made skipper was the highest. Knowing the manager has put his faith in you to be his spokesperson in the dressing-room was a wonderful feeling.”
