    Great news IMO <ok>

    Been a fantastic signing since we acquired him on a free...essentially his contract has been extended by a further 2 years from June 2014

    "CITY are delighted to announce that midfielder Bradley Johnson has signed a new and improved contract that will see him stay at Carrow Road until at least June 2016. The deal comes with Johnson a first-team regular this season with 27 starts in all competitions having missed only one Barclays Premier League game through suspension."

    I agree, he had a lean spell last term after the JB "bad breath" business, but this year he's knuckled down and really progressed!

    <ok>

    Always nice to see players willing to commit for longer. He's been remarkably consistent this season, and whilst I'd like to see competition in that area introduced in the summer, he's doing a sterling job at the moment. And one of these days he'll hit the target with a shot...

    He even missed signing on the dotted line by 10 yards !

    Seriously, good to see him extending his contract - has been a major player for us this year. Well done Bradders !

    One of those players who you always feel gives his best. If he could just learn to pick out a pass...

    I think one of ours best players, shame some fans seem to under-rate him. So, naturally I am very happy with this!

    I personally think all this talk of him being rubbish at passing is way over the top and does him a massive disservice. Ok, it's not the strongest part of his game and he's certainly no Glenn Hoddle, but for me his distribution isn't that bad at all and it's certainly better than Tettey's.

    He's been awesome this season, this is great news indeed <ok>

    I was about to comment on people's issues with his passing. I agree with you Munky. Yes, his long ball passing isn't great and it isn't one of his strengths but it isn't bad. It's like people are expecting his passing to be the standard of Fox's

    He's on an upward curve. He will go from strength to strength. Definitely one of those players you always want at city.
