Meanwhile, 30-year-old striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has signed a new contract with the Championship club until 2022.

Former Burnley and Coventry front man Jutkiewicz, who joined Birmingham in 2016, scored 14 goals last term.

He was part of the England side that won the 2017 Under-20 World Cup and has three FA Youth Cup winners' medals.

Under the loan agreement, Clarke-Salter will be eligible to play for Birmingham in the FA Cup and EFL Cup as well as the league.
