Mills Keen On Boro Stay

Last updated : 09 December 2003 By Kevin Markey
Mills joined the Teessiders on a season-long loan deal back in August, but has been linked with an early return since the sacking of Peter Reid.

Boro, however, have confirmed that Leeds cannot recall Mills this season.

"Steve McClaren has made me feel wanted again," said Mills.

"It's obviously been a difficult couple of years but he's given me a new lease of life and I'm enjoying my football again.

"I don't know where I'll be in the summer.

"It's out of my hands really, because there are things happening all the time at Leeds.

"But by all accounts Steve McClaren would like me here on a permanent basis. I've just got to sit tight until the offer is made, be it permanently or not."
