IPSWICH will keep on-loan Monaco midfielder Jimmy Juan at Portman Road - whether or not they win the play-offs.

The 21-year-old Frenchman is to remain on board for the entire 2005-2006 season.

And Juan, who has yet to make his senior debut, may even prove to be a secret weapon for Town in what is left of the current campaign.

He has been included in the squad for tomorrow's trip to West Ham, the return leg at Portman Road next Wednesday and, if they overcome the Hammers, the play-off final against Derby or Preston at the Millennium Stadium on May 30.
