Bristol City have signed Australian centre-back Bailey Wright from Championship rivals Preston North End for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old, who has spent eight years at Deepdale, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with a option for a further 12 months.

Head coach Lee Johnson said: "Bailey has a warrior spirit and represents a good signing for us.

"He has great Championship experience, he's tough, an Australian international - an old-fashioned stopper."
