Ipswich Town boss Paul Jewell has confirmed that midfielder Grant Leadbitter will depart the club at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old has reportedly snubbed a new £7,000-a-week contract, according to The Sun, and will therefore leave the club in the summer.
"We wish Grant well and we move on," Jewell told reporters.
Middlesbrough are understood to be amongst the favourites to sign him.
