Zak Vyner admits discussions took place for him to leave Bristol City this summer after falling out of Nigel Pearson's plans last season only for the defender to play his way back into favour at Ashton Gate.
The centre-back is enjoying a resurgence in the Robins side having started all eight league matches, including playing his part in three consecutive clean sheets at Ashton Gate in their last three matches in BS3.
It's credit to the 25-year-old for his ability to pick himself up and dust himself off following a campaign that had him questioning his own game and confidence. Before the opening day of the season, Vyner's previous start in a City shirt came in April after a series of individual errors essentially lost the faith of the manager.
