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.
