Robins bring in Fontaine

Bristol City have signed Fulham defender Liam Fontaine on a deal which will see him stay at Ashton Gate for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old, who can play at left-back or in central defence, has played for City boss Gary Johnson during two previous loan spells at Yeovil Town.

Johnson is delighted to have signed the defender for the third time in 17 months and is expected to put him in the starting line-up for the League One Clash with Colchester United.

"Liam was immensely popular at Yeovil and is a player I rate very highly," he told City's official website.

"Other clubs have been chasing him, but he wanted to come and play for me again."
