The former West Ham trainee, 26, was released by Scunthorpe earlier this month after falling out with manager Nigel Adkins and has put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season at Ashton Gate.[LNB]"Given that Jamie McCombe and James Wilson are both injured, we need an extra body in that position and Izzy is an experienced centre-half who offers us power and strength," said City manager Gary Johnson.[LNB]"He likes what he's seen here this week, wants to give it a go and wants to be a part of things.[LNB]"It's a short-term deal, but I've told him he has an opportunity to prove he's worth a longer contract beyond the end of the season."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
