If it ever got started in the first place?...

Birmingham City have announced that defender Stuart Parnaby has signed a new one-year contract with the club.

The stopper's previous deal expired this summer and his future was in doubt after a frustrating 2009/10 season.

Parnaby struggled for fitness during the last campaign, making just six Premier League starts.

But Blues boss Alex McLeish has opted to reward the 27-year-old full-back with fresh terms, ensuring he will remain at St Andrews for another 12 months.

Parnaby has made 50 appearances for Birmingham since joining from Middlesbrough in 2007.
