Cherries: Pitman signs for Bristol City
BRETT Pitman's transfer to Bristol City has this afternoon been confirmed.[LNB] The striker was due to undergo a medical this morning and the Robins have now officially reported the Jerseyman's signing on a three-year contract.[LNB] Pitman, who turned down a move to Blackpool last week, has moved for an undisclosed fee.[LNB] Reports in the West Country suggest the deal could eventually be worth as much as £800,000, while the Echo understands one of City's players could move in the other direction.[LNB] The 22-year-old's prolific form spearheaded Cherries' against-the-odds promotion out of League Two last term and his goalscoring is understood to have attracted the interest of clubs including Ipswich Town, Swansea City and Doncaster Rovers.[LNB] Blackpool agreed a deal, thought to be worth in the region of £600,000, for Pitman last week, only for the Cherries star to decline the move.[LNB] The Robins swooped on Friday and have now landed their man, subject to Football League clearance.[LNB] For the full story and reaction, see tomorrow's Echo.[LNB]
