O'Connor hopes for Blues deal

Garry O'Connor wants to stay at Birmingham City, but is still waiting to learn whether he will be offered a new contract. The Scotland striker was handed a six-month deal by Blues in the summer and was challenged to prove his fitness after a lengthy lay-off with a hip injury.He has recently returned to St Andrews after a loan spell at Barnsley and impressed for Birmingham during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Blackpool.Blues boss Alex McLeish has praised the way in which the 27-year-old has recovered from the career-threatening injury and O'Connor is now keen to be rewarded with an extension.

Faith

O'Connor said: "Nothing is being said at the moment about a new contract."The gaffer has got faith in me. It is just about people upstairs at the club."I would love to stay at Birmingham. It's a fantastic club and I've enjoyed my time here and hope it can continue."I've got to keep my head down and keep working hard."But, if it doesn't happen for me here, I can move on being happy with my form at the moment."
