Horse going nowhere - Bruce

Last updated : 25 June 2003 By Brian Cartlidge
The Blues striker was reported in the weekends press as being a target for newly promoted first division outfit Wigan Athletic, but Bruce claims to have no knowledge of this.

"I don't know of any interest in Geoff and I would be surprised if it was Wigan because I had breakfast with their manager Paul Jewell this morning and he didn't say anything to me!" Bruce told the B'ham Evening Mail.

"But I can't comment on rumours. All I know is that my view on Geoff hasn't changed since the end of the season.

"Everything he has got to give as a player, he gives for the cause. Whether that's in training or in a game.

"I want to see Geoff Horsfield smiling, fitter than ever and raring to go when we return to pre-season."
