Bristol City have had a steady start to this season's Sky Bet Championship campaign and currently find themselves sitting in 12th place, after taking three wins from the opening seven games.

Their last result was a 3-2 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, a heartbreaking defeat after Bristol City raced into a 2-0 lead after a brace from Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham, although they couldn't fight off the Wednesday fight back and eventually suffered a 3-2 loss away at Hillsborough.

Bristol City will surely have their sights set on the play-offs this campaign, and are hopeful of upsetting one or two and achieving their goals.

This article is going to take a look at THREE players who have been the best from the past 5 years......

 

Jonathan Kodjia

Despite only spending one season at Ashton Gate, Jonathan Kodija has to be considered as one of the best signings from the past 5 year when looking at this from a business point of view.

During his one season with the club he excelled and made a name for himself after scoring 20 goals in 48 appearances for the club, it was this form that led Aston Villa to come knocking.

During the summer transfer window, Kodija moved to Villa Park for a sizeable fee.

Aden Flint

Towering centre back Aden Flint has been a revelation at the club since signing from Swindon Town back in 2013, he has been a regular fixture in the Bristol City defence ever since and has gone onto make close to 150 appearances for the club, scoring an incredible 24 goals in the process.

Flint was a vital part of the team that stormed to the League One title in 2014-2015 season, throughout that campaign Flint made 57 appearances and scored a staggering 15 goals, a record that any striker would be proud of.

Flint is a towering and commanding presence in the back four and is equally as effective in the opposition penalty area, as he is in his own, the Bristol City faithful will be keen to see pulling on the shirt at Ashton Gate for many more years to come.

Luke Freeman

Luke Freeman has proved to be a very shrewd piece of business by the club after signing from Stevenage back in 2014, since then he has gone onto make close to 100 appearances for the club, and the fans have seen him grow and mature into a established Championship winger.

Freeman has excellent technical ability and has the pace to glide past opposing defenders with ease, he has scored 8 goals for the club and is widely renowned as a set-piece specialist who takes a wicked corner and a deadly free-kick.

The former Arsenal trainee was capped by England in his younger days at both under-16 and under-17 level, and is a player of clear quality and potential.
