Bristol City have signed midfielder Jed Wallace on a two-year deal after he left Championship rivals West Bromwich Albion at the end of last season.

What does this mean for Bristol City?

The 32-year-old spent four seasons with the Baggies, making 140 league appearances and scoring 15 goals but was not offered a new contract at The Hawthorns.

Why is this signing important?

Wallace won the League One play-offs with Millwall in 2017 and also helped West Brom reach the Championship play-off semi-finals in the 2023-24 season where they lost to Southampton.

He becomes new Bristol City boss Michael Skubala's fourth signing since he was appointed in May, with midfielders Gibson Yah and Sam Greenwood and goalkeeper Sam Tickle all moving to Ashton Gate.

What's next for Bristol City?

Bristol City open the new Championship season at home to Millwall on Saturday, 15 August, and are currently preparing for their next fixture against Swindon Town on 25 July, looking to build on their recent form of 2W-1D-2L and improve on their 12th place finish in the Championship, where they finished with 62 points, 17W-11D-18L from 46 games, and a goal difference of 0, having scored and conceded 59 goals. Bristol City are 33 points behind leaders Coventry and will be looking to close the gap with a strong start to the season, and with their recent 2-game winning run, including a 2-0 win over Stoke City on 2 May, they will be hoping to carry this momentum forward
