The boss did hint at a third renewal of Heskey’s contract come July, “he’s signed an extension as his [current] contract was only up until the end of this month,” he told BBC Radio Manchester.

Lennon added: “We’ve extended that until the end of the season and we’ll sit down and have a chat with him once everything is through.

“What a player he is. There were a lot of raised eyebrows when we brought him in but if you look at his individual performances they are very, very good for a guy of his age and he leads the line brilliantly.”

With the extension, 37 year-old Heskey could line-up against former club on the final day of the season, as well as heading back to the DW Stadium in eight day’s time to face old club .
