Ipswich Town news: Jack Taylor on relegation and hunger

Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor believes the club’s difficult Premier League season has given him the “hunger” to improve.

Last weekend’s defeat to Newcastle marked relegation for Ipswich but Taylor thinks there is plenty to take out of the season.

“It’s not the outcome we wanted but the club is on an incredible journey. I’ve loved it and I’m really proud of where I’ve got to,” he said.

“Looking at the bigger picture, If you take all the lessons that we’ve learnt this year in to next season, we can hopefully bounce straight back up.”

Taylor has started just two league games this season, but believes the adversity has made him improve.

“I’ve overcome so many things personally, from missing out on squads at the start of the season, before finally getting a chance,” he said. “You’ve got to become a better- player.

“No matter whether you are coming on for 30 minutes or just for one, you want to be positive. I’ve set a mentality for myself to use it as an opportunity to impress the manager.

“If I get the opportunity to start again, it’s an opportunity to play in a Premier League football match and I want to show the best version of myself.”
