Speaking to the Official Club Website, the England Under 21 international told the local press: “I really hope this is my last Championship season for a long while.
“Everyone wants to play in the Premiership, it is where all the big boys are. Darren Ambrose and Titus Bramble have moved up and they have gone there and done reasonably well, so I'm just hoping that next season will be my chance.
“There is a possibility that Ipswich don't go up and if that happens then I have to sit down and work out what is best for Darren Bent.
“At the moment, though, I'm not thinking about that, and I'm hoping Ipswich do go up and I will be here next season playing for them in the Premiership.”
