Bristol City have announced the signing of Andy King on a one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

The 32-year-old, who was a free agent, had been training with Nigel Pearson’s men throughout pre-season before signing the contract.

King previously played a pivotal role in helping Leicester to their famous Premier League title win in 2016 and featured for the club in the Champions League.

The midfielder told the Robins’ website: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be here, I can’t wait to get started.

“As soon as I saw Nigel had the job I wanted to call him. My family are all Bristol City supporters, I grew up a supporter and I have memories watching play-off finals, the Johnstone Paint Trophy final and going to games.”
