    Bristol City boss Keith Millen has said he wants to keep hold of goalkeeper Stephen Henderson.

    The 23-year-old is out of contract this summer and has been attracting interest from two unnamed clubs.

    But Millen aims to convince the ex-Republic of Ireland Under 21 international that his future is at Ashton Gate.

    He said: "Stephen knows we want him to stay and he has an offer from us.

    "He's looking at his options as there's other clubs who are interested who can offer him first-team football."

    Henderson, who arrived in 2007, has played just five times for City. He has had loan spells at Weymouth, Aldershot and Yeovil Town.

    City would be entitled to compensation if Henderson moved elsewhere as he is under the age of 24.

    The club have already agreed a new two-year deal with Dave Gerken and first-choice keeper David James wants to stay on for another season.

    I'd like to keep Henderson here aswell but it looks like he'll be on his way after Gerken signed a new contract not long ago. Can't blame the lad really as all he wants to do is play football.

    I doubt he realises that there are two teams in Bristol, you're that insignificant.

    If the "gasheads" get their new rented accomodation in South Gloucestershire,that too will be insignificant and there really will be only 1 team in Bristol. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Bristol City and that is very significant..<party><party>

    You'll need Henderson and Gerken cos when you sell Maynard James will look around at all the inspired signings and decide that he is prepared to travel a little further along the M5/M6/M4 to play football.
    You know it's true! :smile:

    Hard luck, but we all know our stadium is inside the Bristol boundary.

    And we also all know that your stadium definitely wont be.

    ONE TEAM IN BRISTOL YET AGAIN!!!!

    Henderson is a great keeper, and as is now commonplace with Bristol City we're probably going to have to let a good player go because of a lack of opportunities. Quite frankly, I would have offered him a new deal over Gerken, but hopefully we can send Gerken out on loan this season and keep Henderson as a back-up.

    I'd like us to keep henderson, but if he wants first team football then I think he will leave because he's not going to get much here with James and Gerken here


    So your gardens full of **** then is it Captain <laugh>
