Andy King: Former Premier League winner takes on player-coach role at Bristol City

Bristol City midfielder Andy King has signed a new one-year contract that will see him take up a role as player-coach at the Championship club.

The club announced they were in negotiations with Wales international King over a new deal last month.

"I'm absolutely delighted to extend my time at the club," King told the Robins' website.

"Everyone knows Bristol City means a lot to me with my family connections and I can't wait to hopefully help the club have a positive season.

"This is a slightly different role but playing a part on the pitch is something I still very firmly believe I can do and is what I've been working so hard towards this pre-season with the lads.
