Bristol City confirmed on Friday that they had completed the signing of defender Ashley Williams on a short-term deal. 

The experienced Welshman has signed a contract with the Robins until January 2020, and it could be extended if he makes a good impression on Lee Johnson.

Williams has been a free agent since his deal with Everton came to an end at the end of last season.

He spent last year's campaign on loan with Stoke City, making 33 league appearances in a loan spell that didn't turn out as both parties would have hoped for.

Bristol City already have strong options available to them in defence, but Williams' experience will certainly come in handy to aiding the development of the club's younger players.

Plenty of Bristol City fans took to social media to issue their verdict on Williams' arrival.
