JAKARTA - Indonesian national team defender, Elkan Baggott is happy. After successfully helping the Garuda Squad qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup, Baggott also received a contract extension from his club, Ipswich Town.

Through the club's official Instagram account, Ipswich Town announced that the Indonesian national team defender received a contract extension for the next three years. In their release, the club explained that there was an option for an extension for Baggott in the following season.

"The centre-back, who signed his first professional contract at Portman Road in January last year, has tied his future with the Blues to the summer of 2025," read an Ipswich Town statement.

"The club has the option to extend the contract for another 12 months," Ipswich added.

The contract extension from this club became a good achievement for the career of the player who was born in Bangkok, Thailand. Debuting in April 2019, Baggott first signed his first professional contract with Ipswich in January 2021.

Baggott immediately set a target to be able to get more playing minutes from coach Kieran McKenna next season.

"My goal for next season is to play as much football as possible, whether that's here or if the right loan opportunity arises," said Baggott.

Baggott's record at the club before joining the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup Qualification was quite good. Baggott appeared for 90 minutes in the last match and was able to bring Ipswich to a 4-0 win over Charlton Athletic.
