City Refuse Bridges Bids

Bridges has scored twice in 12 games, the last of those on Boxing Day, and has struggled to maintain his fitness since a £350,000 move from Carlisle at the end of the August transfer window.

Lincoln City, Darlington, and even former club Carlisle were all rumoured to be amongst seven teams that want the ex-Sunderland and Leeds forward on loan ahead of Wednesday's transfer deadline, but Phil Brown still considers the injury prone player part of his plans.
