Jay Dasilva admitted he had considered a January move away from Bristol City after losing his place in the side.
The wing-back is enjoying a renaissance in the first team having started in each of the club's last nine matches, appearing to have earned back the trust of Nigel Pearson with a string of consistent performances.
The 23-year-old was forced to bide his time to wait for an opportunity after he was dropped from the team following the 3-2 defeat to Coventry on November 6. His next appearance came midway through the transfer market on January 15 in the FA Cup loss to Fulham.
