Midfielder Jason Knight of the Republic of Ireland has successfully moved from Derby to Bristol City.
For an undisclosed fee—reportedly in the region of £2 million—Knight has signed a four-year contract with Ashton Gate.
The 22-year-old, who joined Derby when he was 16 years old, has 20 senior international appearances, and he has also been connected with both Stoke and newcomers to the Sky Bet Championship, Ipswich.
“It’s been a long time coming behind-the-scenes trying to get it sorted, but I’m happy to be here and I’m looking forward to the season ahead,” Knight said on the Bristol City website.
“The club have shown a real eagerness to get me here, which is always nice as a footballer – to be wanted.
“I know (Bristol City manager) Nigel (Pearson) from his time at Derby and I’ve had a good number of chats with him. He sees me as a big part of the plans going forward.
“I’ll give everything every time I put on the shirt; for the fans, the club, and the boys I’m playing with – full of energy and full of emotion.”
