Unfortunately, an injury sustained in training would keep him on the sidelines for four months, but he marked his return in March 2022 by scoring his first senior goal to set Blues on course for three points away at Bristol City.
Following a return to his parent club for pre-season, he signed permanently from the Red Devils on deadline day last August and went on to feature in more than 80% of Birmingham City’s Sky Bet Championship fixtures as John Eustace’s side claimed the Club’s highest points tally for six seasons
