Blues midfielder Anderson signs one-year extension

Keshi Anderson began his career at Crystal Palace before permanent moves to Swindon and Blackpool

Birmingham City midfielder Keshi Anderson has signed a new one-year extension to his contract with the League One pacesetters.

The 29-year-old joined Blues from Blackpool in June 2023 on an initial 12-month deal, with an option for a further year.

Now, Anderson has agreed fresh terms to stay until at least the end of the 2025-26 season.

He has featured in all but one of Birmingham's nine League One matches this season, scoring in the 2-1 win at Leyton Orient in late August, as the club moved to the top of the table off the back of seven straight wins.

"Obviously, the way the club is going, the journey that we are on, it is somewhere that you want to be," Anderson told the club's website.

"With everything that's happened last year, getting relegated, I want to be part of us getting back to where the club belongs and if not even higher."

Anderson, who helped Blues beat Shrewsbury 4-0 on Tuesday to move closer to the knockout stages of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy, is the second player to sign a contract extension at the club in the space of two days after South Korea midfielder Paik Seung-ho agreed a new two-year deal.
