Central defender Corrie Ndaba has signed a new two-year contract with the deal including an option for a further season.

Ndaba, who joined the club as a full-time academy scholar at 16, is now tied to the Blues until at least 2023.

The 21-year-old joined League Two Salford City on a season-long loan last week and made his debut in their 1-0 home defeat to Swindon, who featured another Town loanee, striker Tyreece Simpson.

The Republic of Ireland U21 call-up has made four senior starts and one sub appearance for the Blues but is yet to feature in a league match.

Dubliner Ndaba has previously had spells on loan at Hemel Hempstead, Chelmsford City and Ayr United.

Linkboy13 added 09:05 - Aug 27 Deserved his new contract by going out on loan at Ayr United and impressing. So many of our over hyped youngsters go out on loan and can't even get a game.

ruds added 10:17 - Aug 27 Ndaba is playing the game well, do the loan moves, listen then work hard and just reward will show its face. One for the future for sure.

Monkey_Blue added 10:46 - Aug 27 Word was he returned to Pre-season with a much better work ethic and attitude last year, Lambert liked him, Cook likes him so it's paid off for him this year. Let's hope this loan gets him to where we need him to be.

Marcus added 17:47 - Aug 27 Young talent. Most central defenders hit their best form around the ages of 24-28 so getting regular games at a lower level is good for development. It's a really physical role where positioning is critical skill, once training has hit the room only experience can refine. Good luck!
