Bristol City's squad for next season is already slowly starting to take shape with the arrivals of both Mark Sykes and Kal Naismith.
Manager Nigel Pearson has wasted little time in addressing the issues that hampered their recent campaign by agreeing two frugal deals on free transfers to bolster the numbers in both midfield and defence.
Both players come with plenty of versatility providing Bristol City with more depth around the pitch which will therefore limit the number of square pegs in round holes that became a common theme last season.
