Bristol City defender Aden Flint has signed a two-year contract extension with the club.

The 25-year-old, who helped the Robins to win promotion from League One last season, will now remain at Ashton Gate until 2019.

Flint says that he is relishing the opportunity to play Championship football with Bristol next term.

"I'm delighted to sign an extension," he told the club's official website. "I'm tied down until 2019 and looking forward to the years ahead as a Bristol City player.

"I wouldn't have dreamt of getting a contract extension at the start of last season, but I think it's been a half-decent season personally for me and obviously a tremendous season for the club as a whole.

"I'm looking forward to testing myself in the Championship now."

Flint, who joined Bristol from Swindon Town in 2013, scored 15 goals from centre-back last season.
