Birmingham City have extended the contract of goalkeeper Ryan Allsop<\/a> by a further year until 2028.<\/p>\n Allsop has recently lost his place between the sticks to James Beadle but the experienced glovesman has been rewarded following an impressive 2024\/25 campaign.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old won the Golden Glove as the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a season which saw Blues<\/a> waltz their way to the League One title in record-breaking style.<\/p>\n In 53 games for Blues, Allsop has kept 26 clean sheets including two in home victories over Oxford United and Swansea City in the Championship this season.<\/p>\n Allsop initially signed a three-year contract when he joined Blues from Hull City in 2024.<\/p>\n Allsop told the club website<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m really excited. It\u2019s obviously no secret that I\u2019m a Birmingham City fan and it is a club that is very close to my heart.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really proud and privileged to be playing a part in the huge ambition that we\u2019ve got and really proud to be extending my stay. Long may the success continue.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to BirminghamLive earlier this year,<\/a> Allsop \u2013 who is a boyhood Blues supporter \u2013 admitted he hopes to one day grace the Premier League with his club.<\/p>\n \u201cI still want to play in the Premier League and I know the club is very ambitious,\u201d Allsop said. \u201cIt fits. I haven\u2019t come here to slow down, I\u2019ve come here to make the most of what I can bring to the club.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to make sure we get back to where we belong and in my eyes that\u2019s seeing the club play in the Premier League, like I used to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n Are you happy that Allsop is sticking around?
