“Bide his time”: Chris Davies on Birmingham City summer recruit’s lack of minutes

Birmingham City head coach Chris Davies addressed defender Dael Fry's lack of minutes, stating that the center-back must bide his time. Fry joined Birmingham City on a free transfer from Middlesbrough during the summer, signing a three-year contract that runs through June 2029. Despite being regarded by Davies as a leader and key signing, Fry has made only three appearances in all competitions this season.

Davies highlighted that Fry remains patient and understands the demands of a long season, noting that Birmingham City are only eight games into the campaign. Fry currently sits behind German defenders Christoph Klarer and Phil Neumann in the team's defensive pecking order.
