Stockdale moved to Birmingham City from Brighton and Hove Albion two years ago.

The former Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper, David Stockdale, has denied he is owed bonus payment the next time he plays for Birmingham City.

Stockdale last played for Birmingham in May 2018, and has since had emergency loans at Wycombe and Southend.

The reason for his exile remains a mystery, though, sparking countless conspiracy theories.

But responding to one Blues fan on Twitter last night, Stockdale insisted it is not because of any clause in his contract.

It has also been suggested that Stockdale’s next appearance could earn his former club, Brighton and Hove Albion, a surprise payment.

But the 33-year-old explained that cannot be the case, having signed for Birmingham after his Brighton contract expired in 2017.

Stockdale, who helped Brighton to promotion in his final season at the Amex Stadium, still has 16 months left on his Birmingham contract.

Has the former Brighton keeper been harshly treated by Garry Monk at Birmingham?
