JAMES Wilson may still have a future at Brentford – depending on what happens in the January transfer window.

The on-loan Bristol City defender has been warming the bench for the last few weeks – a far cry from his loan spell last season when the Welsh U21 star was hailed as Brentford’s best defender since Michael Turner.

Wilson returned to Ashton Gate this week to have an injury treated, with some speculating he might not return.

But Bees boss Andy Scott said: "James injured himself in the warm-up for the Leeds game last week and has gone back to City for some treatment on a glutical muscle, but will be back with us next week.

"His loan finishes in January, and of course James is unhappy with not playing, and Bristol City would also like him to be playing more.

"But we’re not going to make any decisions on his future yet."
