Grounds for optimism at Blues

The 27-year-old has committed his future to the club until June 2017, plus a further one-year option.
Defender Grounds, who joined on a free transfer last summer, missed just one game last season, Blues’ 4-0 defeat to Wigan in August 2014.
He joins Clayton Donaldson, Paul Caddis and Demarai Gray as first-team players to pen new deals during the past two weeks with the club looking to tie down several more senior stars.
