Last summer, Jaiyesimi, who is yet to play for the Norwich first team, joined Yeovil in a season-long deal.

The previous year he had a loan spell at Grimsby.

However, his 2019-20 campaign was cut short in October after he suffered a serious knee injury.

He ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament during a 1-1 draw with MK Dons.

The youngster had scored two goals in 11 games for the then League Two Glovers before his setback.

The Blues have also added winger Ryan Williams to their ranks, following the expiry of his contract at Rotherham.
