Bristol City have snapped up former Norwich City defender Timm Klose.

The former Switzerland international joined the Robins on trial last week after a season-ending injury for Nathan Baker and has earned a contract until the end of the season.

"I fell in love with the Championship because I think it's a brilliant league and there's a lot of games. It's a very competitive league and I really love playing in it," the centre-back told his new club's website.

"With my height, I would say I'm very good at heading and I'd also say I can read the game well. I may not be the fastest player on the pitch but sometimes you need to be faster in the head rather than in the feet as a defender.

"I'm really looking forward to proving to myself that I'm capable again and every time I go out on that pitch I'll leave my heart on it. I will give everything for the club."
