Bristol Rovers have extended Birmingham City defender Sam Oji's loan spell at the Memorial Stadium until mid-April.
The 21-year-old initially joined the Pirates last month and has made three starts for the club.
Oji came through the youth team ranks at Arsenal, before moving to St Andrew's at the age of 18.
He has made one substitute appearance for the Blues and also played five games for Doncaster during a loan spell with Rovers last term.
First-team coach Paul Trollope told Bristol Rovers'' official website: "After making his debut against Boston, Sam had a very good week of training last week and his performance on Saturday against Notts County was very good.
"For a young lad he talks and organises well, and combined with how quick and strong he is, we're very pleased to have him here.
"He's been a welcome addition to the squad over his first month, and we're delighted to have him with us for at another month."
