Connor Ogilvie is preparing to devote his future to Pompey.
According to The News, the defender is close to signing a new contract to remain at Fratton Park.
As a result, the 28-year-old will become the Blues’ longest-serving senior player as he enters his club’s Championship campaign.
Ogilvie, like skipper Marlon Pack, was offered a new agreement as Pompey announced their retained list at the start of the month.
And talks are reportedly well on, with the former Spurs academy player joining Pack in the second tier next season.
When Ogilvie signs, he will become the longest-serving member of John Mousinho’s squad since his move from Gillingham in August 2021.
Wales international Joe Morrell followed a week later and remains in negotiations with the Blues, after they opted to not take up a 12-month option in his contract. Keeper Toby Steward has emerged through the ranks and penned his first pro deal at the age of 17 in 2022, before agreeing a new two-year contract earlier this month. Ogilvie has proved himself to be an important and dependable operator for Pompey, making 117 appearances and scoring eight league goals in his time at Fratton Park. The Londoner made 41 appearances in the 2021-22 season and followed that up with 51 outings in the 2022-23 campaign. Ogilvie then dealt with groin, ankle and knee issues last term, but still managed to get 25 games under his belt in Pompey’s championship success.
