00:00Bristol City have confirmed that Rob Dickey has signed a new contract with the club

00:05which will extend his stay at Ashtongate until the summer of 2028.

00:12Dickey, of course, was naturally very pleased to finally put pen to paper on a new deal at the club.

00:18Yeah, really, really happy to extend my contract.

00:21I've been happy since I've been here, so it was really good for me to extend, yeah.

00:26How long has it been in the works and what was key to signing here?

00:30Yeah, I mean, I think we had a discussion about extending my contract

00:35because I'm into my last sort of definite year now

00:38and I think both sides were quite happy to commit, so it went well.

00:44While you've only been with us for two years, do you feel like part of the furniture?

00:48Yeah, no, I do. I feel like it's nice to feel like that though.

00:52It's been consistent here and I've really enjoyed my time, so long may it continue.

00:58You've got a leadership role as well as vice-captain and nurturing a lot of young players,

01:03whether that's in training or in games. Have we found that kind of position?

01:06Yeah, it's something I enjoy. I like to lead on and off the pitch with my actions.

01:12And Bristol Rovers assistant head coach John Stead has been speaking about how the winter months

01:17and winter months are the cold will affect how Bristol Rovers train for their League Two matches.

01:23Yeah, it's coming. It does and it makes a difference to the sessions and how you prepare for them,

01:29how you order your sessions and make sure that you're not going from a high-intensity session

01:33to a standing still kind of thing, practice more technical.

01:37So, yeah, we've got to be aware of it, but, yeah, we keep them moving,

01:40so they're never going to be cold.

01:41Yeah, which is good to hear.

01:42And just from you, because you'll have been used to it in your playing career a little bit,

01:46but moving to a new area, settling in, all that kind of stuff, it does take time.

01:50Are you starting to feel like Bristol's home again?

01:52Yeah, definitely, yeah. Like you say, home again.

01:55Yeah, I've been here previously playing, so, yeah, getting used to the area again,

02:00albeit more the north side, which I've not been around as much.

02:04So, yeah, getting used to it, but just getting around the lads.

02:06And most of my time, I'll be honest, is spent here at the training ground or sleeping.

02:10So, there's not much socialising going on. It's all work.
