 BIRMINGHAM ARE READY TO REWARD JOHNSON 
                                        
 Birmingham City are ready to reward new
 goal-scoring hjto Michael Johnson with 
 a contract extension.                  
                                        
 The defender's injury-time winnjt

 third in nine games — after failing to 
 score in 249 outings.                  
                                        
 Managjt Trevor Francis is set for talks
 with Johnson and Martin O'Connor with a
 view to extending their contracts.
