Robins bound.
Bristol City have announced they have won the race to sign Fulham defender Liam Fontaine. The 20-year-old is due to complete his medical at Ashton Gate this morning before being revealed to the press.

Both clubs are still in negotiations over the fee, and this could still goto a tribunal if Fulham and Bristol cannot agree.

Crewe had already had agreed a fee with Fulham for Liam but it seems that the Alex have been used in another transfer dealing again.

Manager Gary Johnson said "I am delighted that Liam has agreed to join the club. He was a tremendous acquisition for us in the latter half of last season and I am sure he will prove to be a great asset for us now he is with us on a permanent basis."
