Bruce denies any move to sign Martyn

BIRMINGHAM manager Steve Bruce has dismissed reports linking him with a move for Leeds goalkeeper Nigel Martyn and insists he wants Ian Bennett to stay at St Andrews. Bruce has been linked with a move for Martyn who is second choice at Elland Road behind Paul Robinson.

But the Blues manager is not keen on Martyn as he would prefer to keep Bennett, who recently had his testimonial match against Jamaica at St Andrews.

Bruce dismissed the links to Martyn, saying: “It’s a load of nonsense, absolute rubbish.”
