The 24-year-old centre-back, who is out of contract in the summer, rejected a new deal in January and has not featured in boss Jim Magilton's last three starting line-ups.

"I don't appear to be in the manager's plans right now, and have worries whether I will between now and the end of the season," Bruce told the East Anglian Times.

"The manager picks what he feels is his best side, and that is fair enough. But I have been left wondering whether I have a future at Portman Road."

Bruce is currently away on international duty with the Republic of Ireland, where he hopes to add to his two caps.

Midfielder David Noble accepts his career at BRISTOL CITY may now be over after he joined YEOVIL on loan until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has not featured in Gary Johnson's first team since December and admits he does not anticipate a return to Ashton Gate.

Noble told the Bristol Evening Post: "In the summer I am going to be looking for a new club - City have made that public and I need to come and play some games to put myself in the shop window. Teams are going to want to see you play."

Noble also paid tribute to the City supporters, and added: "Their support has been big for me. The four seasons I have been with City I have been in and out of the team. The fans, I feel, like me and that kept me going."

BARNET boss Ian Hendon is keen to extend Yannick Bolaise's loan spell at Underhill for a third month.

Bolaise has scored three goals in his 12 appearances for the Bees and has been an influential figure in their fight against relegation.

CHARLTON have loaned young midfielder Rashid Yussuff to Blue Square Premier side Ebbsfleet for the rest of the season.
