McLeish signs up Carr on two year deal

Full-back Stephen Carr has put pen to paper on a new deal with Birmingham that will keep him at St Andrews until 2011.

The 32-year-old came out of retirement to play for Blues on a short term deal in February but has impressed the boss enough to want to make the deal permanent.

McLeish told Blues’ website: ‘His hunger has been superb. He’s fully motivated with the kind of quality that counts in the Premier League.’
