Town manager Joe Royle has tipped Danish centre-half Thomas Gaardsøe for an international future with Denmark. The 23-year-old was a regular in their U21 side and Royle says he can develop into a player capable of holding his own at the higher level.

Royle says: "There is a target there for Thomas Gaardsoe who has made a big improvement this year. He can go on and play for his country."

The Blues' boss also feels Matt Richards could win England U19 and U21 caps next season.
