Double boost

Last updated : 21 April 2004 By Andy Parsons

Brunt has been one of the few shining lights in Wednesday’s side since joining from Middlesbrough on a short-term deal and has scored two fabulous free kicks.

He told local media that he would love to stay despite being disappointed with recent team performances, especially the defeat against Blackpool.

Chris Turner has made it clear he wanted to keep the Ulsterman and today Brunt passed a medical and put pen to paper on a deal that should keep him at the club until 2006.

Robins meanwhile has just returned from injury and made his desire to stay crystal clear.

He wants to be part of Wednesday’s squad next season and has made it his intention to be the forefront of a turnaround in fortunes at the club.

The striker’s predatory instinct and years of experience could be decisive next season in what most likely will be a young and very raw Owls team if Turner makes the cull what fans expect him to in the close season.
