Bennett Unsure On Future

Last updated : 11 June 2005 By Kevin Markey
The 34-year-old says he has spoken to both clubs but is unsure as to what the future holds as Blues boss Steve Bruce still wants him at St Andrews.

"I've spoken with Sheffield United and Leeds United but that's as far as it's gone," Bennett said in the Birmingham Evening Mail.

"To be honest, with it being very quiet at the moment and people away on holiday, I don't imagine much happening for a few weeks yet.

"With me, I'll probably speak to the gaffer again and see what the situation is.

"He told me at the end of the season that if there wasn't anything out there, he'd welcome me back at Birmingham.

"It's a difficult one because on the other hand I don't want to be going into the First Division and competing for a place either.

"So would I be just as better off staying at Birmingham and going out on loan?''

The Whites have also expressed an interest in Swindon Town's out-of-contract goalkeeper Rhys Evans.
