Blues boss Kieran McKenna says no decisions have yet been made on left-back Matt Penney’s future with the 24-year-old’s loan with Scottish Premiership Motherwell up in January.

Penney has enjoyed an impressive half-season at Fir Park, carrying off the club’s October and November Player of the Month awards having made 15 appearances in total.

“Matt Penney’s loan expires in the middle of January, so for the moment he’s playing and playing an important role and doing well there,” McKenna said.

“That’s good and he’ll see out that loan move and we’ll have those discussions in a few weeks’ time with him about what the next step is.”

Penney, who joined the Blues on a two-year deal with the club having an option for a further season after leaving Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 2021, made 21 starts and five sub appearances for Town, scoring once, prior to his summer move to Scotland.

Bazza8564 added 16:09 - Dec 31 Having brought in two in that position and with kids coming through too, its tough to see any opportunities here and I hope either the loan is extended, made permanent or another club comes in for him. Tried very hard here but realistically he doesnt have prospects at ITFC best all round he finds somewhere to play and settles long term.
