Blues wait on defender swoop

BirminghamBirmingham boss Alex McLeish says he will only make a decision on the future of Nicky Hunt once his loan spell is up.

Hunt has been drafted in to cover for injuries to Stephen Kelly and Stuart Parnaby and impressed on his debut even though the Blues slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Coventry.

McLeish has said he would like to keep him but much depends on the injury situation when his loan is up.

"You could see the other night what Nicky can bring to us, that first ball in across the face of goal, we just needed somebody with a wee bit of desire to get in there and not be afraid of getting hurt," said McLeish.

"He is only here because of the injuries to Parnaby and Kelly, and the timescale when they are back coincides with the month's loan. When it's up, we will see where we're at."
