Bristol City man heads out on loan as released attacker joins new club

Bristol City are unbeaten in pre-season so far as they prepare for the new Championship season.

The Robins have played League One sides Cheltenham Town, Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle, Forest Green Rovers and Exeter City so far.

They have a tough test this weekend coming up against Premier League new boys AFC Bournemouth.

Here is a look at the latest news coming out of the club today....

Loan for youngster

Bristol City defender James Taylor has been given the green light to head out the exit door ahead of the new campaign.

The defender will be looking to get plenty of first-team experience under his belt and has dropped into League One.

He has joined Cheltenham Town under former Premier League midfielder Wade Elliott and has linked up with them until next summer, with his parent club holding an option to recall him in January.

Released attacker finds new club

Dylan Lewis has found a new home following his departure from Ashton Gate at the end of last term.

He was released by the Robins after the club made the tough decision to cut ties with him.

However, he has now swiftly found himself a new home and has joined Southern League Division One South club Slimbridge AFC.

Midfielder opens up about exit

Tyreeq Bakinson has left Nigel Pearson’s side on a permanent deal for Sheffield Wednesday.

The midfielder slipped down the pecking order and spent time with Ipswich Town earlier this year.

He has opened up about his move to the Owls, as per a report by Yorkshire Live:

“I want to play some football and that obviously wasn’t happening where I was so it is really great to get this deal done and over the line.

“I think that is what most players want. They want to find a home and where they can play in front of loads of fans and play the right sort of football and that is exactly what is possible here.”
