Bristol City are close to agreeing a deal with centre-back Timm Klose after the veteran defender passed his audition during his trial.
The former Norwich centre-back has been training with the club since last Friday as manager Nigel Pearson plots to bolster his numbers in defence and add a physical presence to his squad.
A problem with paperwork, believed to be around securing international clearance, ruled him out of Tuesday's Under-23 match with Charlton but Klose has been put through his paces at the Robins High Performance Centre and has passed with flying colours, according to assistant Curtis Fleming.
