Veteran midfielder Gary Speed has admitted he is considering leaving Bolton Wanderers in the transfer window.

Speed, 38, has started just three Premier League games since Gary Megson took the managerial reins at the Reebok Stadium in October.

The former Wales international was also stripped of his role as player-coach which he assumed during the tenure of former boss Sammy Lee.

The former Newcastle, Everton and Leeds United midfielder has been linked with a move to Championship side Sheffield United and has admitted a January move may be on the cards.

Speed has made 130 appearances during four years with the Trotters.

"I'm not in the team at Bolton," he admitted.

"I've no complaints about that as the team are playing well, but I need to be playing games.

"I will see what happens. I am fit enough to play. I have not got much time left and I want to play football."
