Chris Hughton has told James McFadden he could still have a future at Birmingham.
The out-of-contract Scotland forward has been on the look-out for a new club while he recovers from a cruciate ligament injury that has kept him out of action since last September.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is monitoring the situation with a view to offering the 28-year-old the chance to re-build his career at Molineux.
But Hughton, who is desperate to add bodies to a squad decimated by owner Carson Yeung’s post-relegation fire-sale this summer, feels McFadden could still earn a new deal at St Andrew’s.

But Hughton, who is desperate to add bodies to a squad decimated by owner Carson Yeung’s post-relegation fire-sale this summer, feels McFadden could still earn a new deal at St Andrew’s.
“He has been training with us for a good while now - since the summer. He’s one we’re still assessing,” said Hughton.
“He’s training on the back of quite a big injury, and the club knew it was going to take him a period of time to recover.
“With that, it’s about making sure he completes his rehab and getting into football work. He’s a player of very, very good ability and he has shown that in the past.”
Hughton is also scouring the loan market for new blood and also considering the possibility of offering a new deal to Stuart Parnaby, who is also a free agent after his deal with Blues expired in the summer.
