The defender moved to Blues from local rivals Aston Villa in August 2007 in a £2m deal.
He signed a three year contract, with a two year option.
Ridgewell joined Villa as 15-year-old having previously spent six years as a youngster at West Ham United.
He made his first team debut for Villa in 2003 against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup, before going on to make more than 90 appearances for the Clarets - and scoring six goals.
The 6 feet two inch tall player is an excellent header of the ball and has a powerful left footed shot.
Ridgewell, whose main position is as centre half stepped in as emergency left back just into the 2009/10 season and went on to make the position his own.
