The now 37-year-old has recently moved back to the Birmingham area to live and is friendly with the new regime at the club.

 

Pennant last played for Billericay Town in 2017/18 at the time when the Essex side were signing big-name players such as Jamie O`Hara, Paul Konchesky and Pennant.

 

He started his career with Notts County and was signed as a youth by Arsenal in 1999.

 

He went on to play 15 times for the Gunners as well as having loan spells with Watford, Leeds United and Birmingham City.

 

A permanent move to St Andrews followed in 2005 and, after 38 games and 2 goals, a transfer to Liverpool for a fee of £6.7m followed in the summer of 2006.

 

He won the 2006 FA Community Shield and also played a role in the Reds’ run to the 2007 UEFA Champions League Final where Liverpool lost 2–1 to Milan.

 

Moves to Spanish side Real Zaragoza, Stoke City, the Indian League with FC Pune City and Singapore League with Tampines Rovers followed as well as spells with Wigan Athletic and more latterly, Bury.

 

Pennant, who has 24 caps for England under-21s, is expecting to make a decision on whether to make his comeback a more permanent one before the start of the season when both parties can assess the situation.
