Diop extends Birmingham deal

Birmingham midfielder Papa Bouba Diop has had his contract extended by the club for a further month.

The 34-year-old, who joined Blues in October this year, will remain at St Andrew's until December 17.

The former Senegal international has yet to make his debut but will be hoping to be part of the rotation during a busy festive fixture schedule.

Manager Lee Clark has previously praised Diop's contribution off the field and his old team-mate is ready if called upon having been an unused substitute in their last six matches.
