In the space of seven months, Zak Vyner has shaken off his unreliability tag, cemented his place in the side and even has a new song from the Bristol City faithful echoing around Ashton Gate.
His progress and resurgence on the field has been nothing short of phenomenal but the academy prospect will be keen not to get carried away knowing how quickly things can change in football.
Although he's not prepared to rest on his laurels and at the age of 25, now has a new responsibility in the team which is proving further motivation to drive the consistency of his performances. Following the switch to a back four, Vyner is now the most experienced head driving a young defence that is continuing to gel as a collective.
