Both Matty and his older brother Sean have been in talks with the club for some time with 22-year-old Sean having last summer found himself a target for Manchester United,.
However, an agreement is yet to be reached with either player and Bruce has been anxiously awaiting a breakthrough.
Asked about Matty’s situation last month, he said: “It’s a concern for us all, of course it is. I hope we can get that tied up, I really do.
“But, they’ve got the power these days, the players. We see it often now with young players as well. I hope there’s a bit of common sense.
“There’s nobody, at 19, played more games than him. He’s got an opportunity.”
