Bristol City are set to conduct fresh contract talks with Zak Vyner as the defender enters the final 12 months of his deal at Ashton Gate having neglected to sign extended terms earlier in the year.
Vyner was one of the individual success stories of last season after a summer transfer window in which he looked almost certain to leave his boyhood club. After reclaiming his place in the team, the academy product made 45 Championship starts - more than any other member of the squad - and was named Players’ Player of the Year at City's end of season awards.
Vyner has transformed himself from a talented, athletic but error-prone defender into a composed model of consistency at the heart of the Robins defence and has increasingly taken on a leadership role among his peers.
