Andy King reveals role as Bristol City coach but is determined to prove his worth on the pitch

Andy King revealed his coaching role will be to help the younger generation of Bristol City talent break into the first-team but remains adamant he still has a part to play on the pitch after signing a new deal.

The veteran midfielder finally ended speculation of his immediate future by signing a one-year contract extension and transitioning into a player/coach role following a frustrating season hampered by injuries.

King, 33, still wants to be identified as a player admitting his fitness feels great in pre-season heading into the new campaign but admitted he is looking firmly into the future with his new contract having started his coaching badges one year ago.
