New four-year deal for defender

Bristol City defender James Wilson has signed a new deal at Ashton Gate. The 19-year-old, who made his City debut earlier this month, has been rewarded for his progress with a new four-year contract. City boss Gary Johnson is a big admirer of the versatile defender and has tipped him for a bright future. "James has had a terrific last 12 months and fully deserves this contract," Johnson told the club's official website. "We watched him throughout his time at Brentford and there he proved he was a capable league player. "He's got a big future ahead of him. He needs to keep performing, training like he does and he will end up a Championship player at the very least. "James is versatile in that he can play at right-back or centre-back, but I personally think he will ply his trade as a centre-half."
