West Ham midfielder Nigel Quashie wants to stay with Birmingham City.

Quashie marked his final game on-loan at Brum by being sent off, but said after the 3-2 defeat of Charlton: "I've enjoyed being with the club and cannot thank people enough. Most of all I have loved being back playing after missing out last season with injury. I want to stay at Birmingham and be a part of their promotion challenge. I think we have everything needed to win this division.

"It was frustrating to be sent off for a second offence when I might have had my leg broken twice in first-half tackles so I was delighted, and relieved, by the way my 10 team-mates responded to the challenge."
