Forest Green have signed midfielder Opi Edwards on a one-year deal following his departure from Bristol City.

The 22-year-old, who started his career at Ashton Gate, made four substitute appearances for the Robins last season in the Sky Bet Championship.

Rovers’ director of football, Richard Hughes, told the club’s website: “Opi is a player who has real talent – and we’re delighted to get this deal over the line.

“We’ve got a squad full of young and exciting players – so we’re sure Opi will thrive in that environment.”

The Sky Bet League Two club later announced the arrival of fellow midfielder Ben Stevenson from Colchester on a two-year contract.

Hughes said of the 24-year-old: “He’s a talented player and I’m sure the fans will enjoy his technical ability.”
