Primus offered new one-year deal
Central defender Linvoy Primus is set to be offered a new one year contract at Portsmouth with an option of a second year.
The 35-year-old was set to retire at the end of the season but the news of a new deal could help to change his mind.The terrace favourite last played for Pompey on the final day of the 2006/07 season in a 0-0 draw with Arsenal before a serious knee injury ruled him out for the entirety of the following campaign.
The veteran has failed to win back his place on the south coast ever since and was loaned out to Championship side Charlton for the start of the current season.The former Reading man, who has been at Fratton Park for nine years, returned to the club in November and hasn't played a competitive game since.Despite his lack of appearances over the last few seasons the club have decided to reward the defender for his loyalty by giving him the chance to rack up 10 years with the club and ultimately a much deserved testimonial."There's a bit of a technicality here in terms of a testimonial,"
Portsmouth Chief Executive Peter Storrie told The News.
"He needs to do one year next season and two months, so we're talking about giving him another year."But whether that will do him we'll have to wait and see. We'll have to maybe give a year's contract and then a month to month contract."But if anybody deserves a testimonial it's Linvoy."
Storrie also hinted that the club could offer Primus a position within the club once he decided to hang up his boots."I think we need to do something," he added.
"Whether Linvoy could act as an ambassador or whatever it takes to be involved in the club."I think he would be ideal for that role."
