His ascension from League One was highlighted by him, but following an early season injury, Vaclav Hladky assumed the starting shirt and hasn’t given it up since.Walton’s future at Portman Road has so come under scrutiny. Since his contract was about to expire this summer, he might be able to walk on after losing the starting position.
The soon-to-be Premier League team, according to a TEAMtalk story, has reportedly taken steps to keep Walton before the summer.
According to them, Ipswich Town has activated the 28-year-old’s contract option to extend his stay with the team for an additional year. It happens while several teams are keeping an eye out for a possible steal this
Walton’s option in his contract is reportedly being exercised, so Ipswich Town won’t be losing out on the custodian during the summer transfer window.
Nevertheless, it does not imply that he will stay at Portman Road.
A fascinating “keeper scenario”
Hladky became a source of inspiration for Ipswich Town as they pursued Premier League football. For a team that frequently gave up chances, not only was his shot-stopping excellent, but his skill with the ball was crucial for building plays.
Though Hladky is 33 years old and not the most reliable long-term option, it will be intriguing to see if Kieran McKenna continues to believe in him. Hladky has never played in the Premier League.
Not to add, the team needs to find a solution for Hladky as well, whose contract expires this summer.
Town may probably go through the window without changing their goalkeeping staff if both remain, but as the promotion celebrations continue, there are still a lot of decisions to be made before making their Premier League comeback.
