Birmingham City forward James McFadden has played down rumours suggesting that he is pushing for a new contract at St Andrew's.

The 27-year-old Scotland international's current deal runs until the end of next season and McFadden is calm about the prospects of a future agreement.

He told the Birmingham Mail: "I was asked the question and, yes, I would like to get it sorted, but I am in no rush.

"My contract runs out at the end of next season and the club have got a two-year option.

"But if I play a certain amount of games I get one for myself, so it is not a big drama.

"There are other players speaking at the moment about contracts. There is not a lot of progress, but I am not worried.

"I would like to get it sorted but I'm not going to complain. I'll wait and see what happens."

McFadden joined City in January 2008 from Everton and has since scored 13 goals in 83 appearances in all competitions.
