The 30-year-old is out of contract this summer and it has been confirmed he will leave the Tractor Boys upon the expiry of his current deal. In a farewell statement, Jackson said: "When I signed in 2018 I didn't know what was to come and, while it's certainly been a journey, I will always be extremely proud to have played for this brilliant club.
"The last two seasons in particular have been truly special and being able to play a part in getting this club promoted from League One to the Premier League is something I will remember for the rest of my life. "To end my time with the club on such a high, with a brilliant group of teammates and a manager who has always supported me, is something I'll always be proud of. Ipswich Town will always have a special place in my heart and I wish everyone well for the future.
