Doncaster's Coppinger open to Ipswich move

Doncaster Rovers veteran James Coppinger suggests he could be tempted by a potential move to Ipswich Town.

The 31-year old attacking midfielder, who has been at the Keepmoat Stadium since 2004, is being linked with the Tractor Boys and says he is considering a possible move after Rovers were relegated from the Championship this season.

"I think Ipswich is a great club. I have some friends who have played at Ipswich in the past and they speak highly of the club and the place," he told the East Anglian Daily Times.

"With them being in the Championship and an ambitious club, it is always somewhere you would look to go.

"At this stage in my career and life, it wouldn't put me off moving to Suffolk. You just want to play at the highest standard you can for as long as you can.

"It was on the cards last season. It was a big decision for me, I knew Paul Jewell was interested and I spoke with the chairman - but it wasn't to be."
