Nigel Pearson confirmed Duncan Idehen will stay at Bristol City beyond the summer after making his debut in the 3-1 victory over Derby.
The defender, who joined the club on a six-month deal in January following an unsuccessful trial at Birmingham, has impressed during spells in the Under-23s with the young Robins top of their development league.
He was an unused substitute away at Swansea in February and was back on the bench on Monday during the 1-1 draw with Sheffield United. Idehen was handed his moment in the 72nd minute when he came on for Ayman Benarous seven minutes before Timm Klose's first City goal put the game to bed.
