Forgotten forward Andy Keogh will remain at Wolves after his permanent move to Bristol City fell through.

The 24-year-old is currently back at Compton undergoing treatment on a back injury. But even if he returns to the West Country to complete his loan to the end of the campaign, he will be back at Molineux next month.

“When you look at the types of forward we’ve got he’s quite similar,” said City boss Keith Millen.

“I’m looking to get a balance to the squad and have different options in different areas.”

Keogh, who wanted to rejoin Leeds last summer only for the Whites to be put off by the £2m asking price, has another 15 months on his contract after signing a two-year extension in February 2009.

But after a patchy season Wolves know Keogh wouldn’t be able to command that sort of fee.

The Ireland international arrived at Bristol City at the end of January and has scored once in nine games, the last five of them all ending in victories.

It is Keogh’s second ‘view to a permanent’ move that has fallen through this campaign after his season-long loan at Cardiff ended in January.
