Midfielder Barry Ferguson has extended his Birmingham contract until 2012.
The 32-year-old Scot, who recently retired from international football, impressed during the last Premier League campaign and was named the players’ player of the season.
And Ferguson was more than happy to pen a new deal with Blues.
He said: “Before I left on the tour (of Hong Kong and China) it was all agreed and I signed on the dotted line. I can now concentrate on another two years at Birmingham.
“It was kind of a dual think; they came to me and had a chat, and I was always interested.
“I loved my first season down there. I’ve never hidden that. I was more than happy to extend the contract by another season.
“I can now focus on trying to the job I did last year, and do it even better.”
