Pring completed the match in the Robins' impressive 3-2 victory over play-off chasing Millwall last weekend, the Bristolian will be hoping that that performance can kickstart and extended run in the first team under Nigel Pearson.

The Verdict

It has been a turbulent few years at Ashton Gate since the latter part of Lee Johnson's reign at the club. Pring has been able to throw his hat in the ring as a viable first team option in that time, now with Pearson offering some stability and handing opportunities to younger players, the platform should be there for the 23-year-old to showcase his ability and prove his worth to the club in the second half of the campaign.

A lot of EFL clubs have been looking to reduce the average age of their squads since the pandemic, with Jay DaSilva, 23, and Ayman Benarous, 18, vying for a spot in competition with Pring, the healthy battles within the group could be fierce with every player hoping to prove to Pearson that they should be part of his plans moving forward.
