Jackson's current deal runs out at the end of the season

Lincoln City chairman Steff Wright has dismissed speculation about Peter Jackson's new contract as a "sideshow".

A news conference, which was expected to confirm an extended deal for Jackson, was called off last week.

Jackson, who is currently contracted to the club until the end of the season, still has not signed the new deal.

But Wright said: "It's a little bit of a sideshow and one that isn't concerning Peter or myself - basically that contract will be signed in time."

"It's very much Peter wanting to sign a new contract under the right conditions when we're winning football matches and that position hasn't changed," he told BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
