Alex McLeish will soon assess Nicky Hunt's future at Birmingham but has hinted he hopes to extend the on-loan Bolton defender's current deal.
Hunt has enjoyed a successful spell at St Andrews since agreeing a one-month loan move at the start of November.
The right-back, who had to come off in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Midlands rivals Wolves due to a hamstring injury, has one more game left of his current agreement.
And when asked whether he is looking to tie Hunt down for a longer period of time, McLeish said: "We'll have to look at that because Stephen Kelly is still a wee bit away from fitness but Stuart Parnaby is 100% fit again.
"We have to be thinking about keeping Nicky around. He looked great (against Wolves), he brought his Premiership experience to the team and he was a threat going forward and it was such a shame to lose him.
"It (his hamstring injury) was serious enough to take him off but hopefully it's not too bad for Nicky, he's got another game left for us."

"Great to have a winning spell & 7 goals in 2 games is cloud 9 stuff.Have to give credit to the ginger 1 as his signings really are doing the business for us so if he can add 2 or 3 of the same quality in January & we give them a month to settle in then we could have a hell of team that could bring back the glory years we all got used to.Still going to need a longer run for GM to convince me he is the right manager for the club but I do feel now that he should be judged on the full season & with the benefit of some more signings.The lads clearly like him & he got Nolan to play again;gave a exit to Nicky Hunt so he is making a good start.So credit where due he should be Manager of the Month,no further comment."
