Bristol City boss Gary Johnson has moved quickly to sign Coventry City striker Wayne Andrews on loan after learning that Phil Jevons will be sidelined for two weeks with damaged ankle ligaments.
The 29-year-old forward has made only four substitute appearances for the Sky Blues since joining the club from Crystal Palace last summer, and has already spent a month on loan at Sheffield Wednesday this term.
"Wayne has power and pace and can play right-wing or as a centre-forward," Johnson told the Robins' official website.
"He's an experienced player and gives us an extra body which we need at this moment in time, with Jevo out for two weeks.
"Sheffield Wednesday actually tried to take him back after he finished his recent loan spell there, but Coventry refused because he was doing too well, and didn't want him loaned out to another Championship club.
"That's worked out well for us and, as Wayne has already seen us play and was impressed by what he saw, we managed to beat a couple of League One clubs to his signature."
