Bristol City youngsters catch the eye as former player finds new home

The new Championship season starts next weekend and Bristol City will be hoping to have a succesful campaign.

First up for the Robins is a tricky trip to the MKM Stadium to take on a Hull City side who have been making some impressive signings this summer like Jean Michael Seri, Oscar Estupinan and Ozan Tufan.

Nigel Pearson’s side are in for a difficult afternoon but will be confident of getting a result.

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

Loan pair catch the eye

Bristol City youngsters Prince Henry and Omar Taylor-Clarke impressed last night for loan club Yate Town.

The pair will spend the first-half of the upcoming campaign in non-league to get some experience.

Henry scored a hat-trick and Taylor Taylor-Clarke bagged once to help their new club beat Cinderford Town 6-0 in a friendly.

Former player finds new club

Former Robins player Lee Tomlin has landed himself a new move in the Football League.

The 33-year-old, who played at Ashton Gate during the 2016/17 season, was released by Walsall at the end of June.

He has now been snapped up by fellow League Two club Doncaster Rovers after doing enough on trial with the Yorkshire outfit to earn a deal.

Surprise position change for loanee

Shrewsbury Town boss Steve Cotterill has said that he has signed Bristol City’s Taylor Moore as a midfielder.

He usually operates as a defender but will be playing a bit further up the pitch for his new loan club.

Cotterill has said, as per a report by the Shropshire Star:

“Taylor has come here as a central midfield player. Taylor can do two positions for us, that’s vital with our budget, I think Taylor hasn’t quite fulfilled his potential in the Championship at centre-back.

He added:

“He started as a central midfield player. It’s not foreign to him that we stuck a centre-back in midfield. I signed him as a central midfield player.

“You need somebody that can look after the space in front of that back three.”
