Neil Warnock has handed Sol Bamba a three year contract.The 32 year old signed for City last season just after the manager joined the club.
"We've agreed to give Bamba a three-year deal, which we're delighted with," Warnock said.
"He's done really well, it's only right we give him that little bit of security.
"I know how good he is I would not worry about playing Bamba if he was in the top flight, let alone the Championship. That is how much I rate him," he said.
"I had quite a number of inquires for him in the summer, I don't want to anything to start cropping up. He's loving it at the moment you can see by the way he's playing.
"I spoke to (owner) Vincent Tan and (chairman) Mehmet Dalman, they agreed that if that is the way forward they would support me. It's just another foundation. We already have a good foundation with him staying, Sean Morrison staying and Joe Bennett wants to stay."
