Released Everton defender Ashley Williams has been snapped up by Bristol City.

Williams has joined Bristol City on a short-term basis.

The defender has been a free agent following his release from Everton in the summer and has decided to link up with the Championship side.

Head Coach Lee Johnson said: “I'd like to offer Ashley a very warm welcome. His experience will be invaluable, both on and off the pitch, and we're all looking forward to getting to work with him."
