Keegan ready to offer Flood a new contract

MANCHESTER CITY boss Kevin Keegan is set to offer midfielder Willo Flood a new contract.

The 19-year-old, the soccer winner in last season’s Irish Examiner Youth Awards, turned in an impressive performance in only his second appearance for the Blues in Tuesday’s 7-1 Carling Cup hammering of Barnsley, marking the occasion with a well-taken first-half strike.

Keegan has already tied Joey Barton and Shaun Wright-Phillips to extended deals.
