Cunningham set for new Brum deal

BIRMINGHAM are poised to offer a new contract to inspirational skipper Kenny Cunningham.

The 33-year-old, who signed from Wimbledon in July 2002, has 14 months left on his current deal and manager Steve Bruce believes the veteran has at least two more seasons in the top flight.

The Republic of Ireland captain has been influential for Bruce as his side have established themselves in the Premiership in the past three seasons.
