Nigel Pearson has confirmed that Andy King is set to agree a new contract with the club but Bristol City will continue to wait on Tomas Kalas’ decision over signing a new deal as he explores the free agent market.
King and Kalas’ contracts both expire at the end of the month and Pearson has previously shown a desire to keep hold of the experienced pair. King has become part of his backroom staff as well as proving a valuable squad member with 31 appearances last season in central midfield and centre-back.
Kalas has suffered a season and a half of injury misery but, when fit, remains among the Robins' best defensive performers and a fresh agreement was presented to him towards the end of the season, albeit on reduced terms from the contract he signed in 2019.
