West Bromwich Albion wait on Steven Reid

West Brom wait on Reid

West Bromwich Albion assistant boss Kevin Keen has revealed that Steven Reid's future at the club will be decided in "the next month".

It has been suggested that the 32-year-old could announce his retirement as he continues to battle injury, but Keen has hinted that there is a new offer on the table.

He told the Birmingham Mail: "In my opinion, the next month is not going to make or break whether Steven stays at the club next season.

"He's a fantastic senior professional. He's appeared in quite a few games for us this season - and in quite a few winning teams. So, I don't think whether or not he's fit for the next two or three weeks will have a massive effect on any decision that's being made.

"The supporters and press, to a certain extent, see his contribution over 90 minutes on a Saturday, but as a coaching staff and Steve (Clarke) as head coach, I think you'd say his contribution around the club is much more than that."

"He's got great experience, he's very vocal and has a lot of common sense when it comes to talking about football. We'll see what Steve, Richard (Garlick) and the chairman decide to do. But he is a fantastic person to have around the place."

West Brom currently sit eighth in the Premier League table.
