Stuart Campbell's future at Bristol Rovers is uncertain

Bristol Rovers captain Stuart Campbell has revealed that he is still not sure where he is going to be playing his football next season.

The 32-year-old's contract expires in the summer but he is yet to hear from the club on his future.

"We're three of four weeks away from the end of the season and nothing's been discussed or offered," Campbell told BBC Radio Bristol.

"So we'll just have to wait and see what happens over the summer."

Campbell arrived at the Memorial Stadium from Grimsby in 2004 where he had played under Rovers director of football Lennie Lawrence.

He was made captain in 2006, leading his side to the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and promotion to League One at the end of that season.

Campbell is not the only first team regular out of contract at the end of the season.

The future of central defender Steve Elliott, who is currently injured, is also unclear.

Rovers manager Paul Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol: "He's had a decent run in the team and been part of a number of good defensive performances, so we'll miss him.

"For Stevie, being out of contract is not a nice situation and we haven't spoken to him in detail about that side of things yet.

"His main concern over the next week or two is to get fit and see if he can get some action before the end of season."

The summer could see a number of personnel changes at Rovers with decisions to be made about on-loan goalkeeper Mikkel Andersen and his current deputy Rhys Evans.

Left-back Aaron Lescott, currently on loan at Cheltenham, could be looking for a new club along with David Pipe who has not played for Rovers since September.

"It's on-going between now and the Leeds game," said Trollope. "We've tied a few up and we're not going to leave it until the end of the season.

"We speak often with the chairman about the budget for next year and where we're going with it.

"It's the same up and down the country. You try and do the best you can with the budget you've got available."
