​Bristol City hand trials to former Watford defender Ekstrand

Former Watford defender Joel Ekstrand is currently training with ChampionshipBristol City, head coach Lee Johnson has said.

The 27-year-old, who has two senior international caps for Sweden, is unattached after leaving the Premier League club in July.

"We are in the market for a centre-half," Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol.

"It's the one area we are probably a bit light. We invited him in.

"There is no pressure from either side at the moment. We are just assessing the situation but also the options in the market."
