Nick Wright is set to stay at Tamworth after a move to Blue Square Premier rivals Stevenage Borough fell through.

The Lambs had agreed a fee for the striker but he failed to settle personal terms with Borough.

The Birmingham-born England C international joined Tamworth in 2007 and his goals helped them clinch the Blue Square North title last season.

But the 22-year-old has struggled for form this season and has been placed on the transfer list.

"A fee was agreed for Nick between the two clubs but unfortunately Nick's people could not agree terms with Stevenage," Tamworth assistant manager Darron Gee told the Birmingham Mail.

"We've sat down and had a good chat with Nick and if he doesn't move he will still contribute to the football club. It's all about how he does on the pitch.

"If he wants to get away he needs to play his heart out and similarly if he wants to stay he needs to train his heart out and get his place back in the team."
