Aussie Midfielder Being Sounded Out

Last updated : 16 July 2006 By Kevin Markey
The midfielder is currently a free agent after his decision to leave League One side Bristol City, and reports claim that Neil Warnock and Kevin Blackwell have made enquiries.

The Blades are the front-runners with them being a top-flight club as Wilkshire's displays in Germany impressed former coach Guus Hiddink, who was surprised at the fact the player was not with a Premiership club.

"He doesn't know his own possibilities because he is a modest player, too modest," Hiddink told the Bristol Evening Post.

"But when you see him playing (against Italy), he wasn't a star player but doing a very good job."

The 24-year-old joined the Robins from Middlesbrough in 2003 for £250k and made 103 appearances for City.
