Harry Cornick’s at pains to insist it wasn’t a deciding factor, but making the move from a club you’ve spent the last six-and-a-half years of your life - representing the vast majority of your professional career - to a totally new environment was probably made that tiny bit easier by the fact his girlfriend Ashleigh is from Bristol and a family of Robins fans.
Having moved to Luton towards the end of last year from her hometown, and with no slight intended on that corner of Bedfordshire, she was delighted to learn that Cornick's next destination was the West Country.
Cornick was one of two arrivals for City on deadline day, as Nigel Pearson was able to bring summer transfer plans forward to sign the versatile and dynamic forward in the wake of Antoine Semenyo’s sale to Bournemouth.
