Shroot to shoot off

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has made young midfielder Robin Shroot available for loan.

The 21-year-old, who had a temporary spell at Walsall last term, joined Blues from non-league Harrow in January, but failed to make an impact in McLeish`s promotion-winning side and notched up just one appearance.

"Robin needs to go out somewhere on loan next season to get league experience," McLeish told the club`s official website.

"We took him him from non-league football so he`s unproven in league football, but he`s a good footballer.

"I`d like to see him getting regular football and we will circulate his details with a view to him going out on a six-month loan, preferably to the Championship, League One, or maybe Scotland."
