Sheffield United loanee David Cotterill has said his long-term future lies with parent club Wigan Athletic.

The Wales international is on loan at Bramall Lane until the end of the season, but will return to the Premier League side in the summer.

"Steve Bruce said I still had a future at Wigan," the 20-year-old forward told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I can't decide my own future because I'm contracted to Wigan and they'll decide things. It's up to them."

Cotterill has started 11 games for the Blades since joining in February, but has yet to score.

But he is hoping to grasp his opportunity with the Latics next season.

"You never know in football what will happen," added Cotterill. "[Antonio] Valencia is playing very well at the moment for Wigan.

"I just feel I need to get back in there, see if I get a chance and then take it."
