It is a return to St Andrew's for the defender, who made 23 appearances
there last term and helped them finish the campaign two points and two
places clear of safety. His only goal came in a 1-1 draw against Millwall
in November.
The 23-year-old joined our Academy at the age of nine and progressed
through the ranks to play a key role in FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League
trophy triumphs.
Powerful, athletic and comfortable bringing the ball out from the back, he
made his Blues debut under Guus Hiddink in April 2016, coming on during
the second half of a 4-0 win at Aston Villa.

Clarke-Salter has had previous loan spells at Vitesse, Sunderland and
Bristol Rovers. He has represented England up to the Under-21 age group
and won the 2017 Under-20 World Cup with the young Lions in South Korea.
Following the departure of Pep Clotet in July, Birmingham are now managed
by Aitor Karanka and have made an unbeaten start to the Championship
season, winning one and drawing three of their opening four matches. They
host Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow.
