Former Norwich City defender Timm Klose is trialling Bristol City.

The 33-year-oldhas been training with Bristol City this week as the Robins pursue a new centre-back.

Bristol World report that Nigel Pearson is assessing the former Switzerland international's fitness closely, with the potential for a two-year deal.

A loan season with boyhood club Basel was accepted last season and Klose scored twice in 29 games.

However, the Swiss Super League club decided not to take up their option to sign him permanently and the 17-cap international came to a mutual agreement to end his Norwich contract a year early last summer.
