Bristol City defender Ryley Towler admits he’s benefitting from playing alongside Bristol Rovers legend Lee Brown, with the pair having bonded over shared experiences of the West Country during their time together at AFC Wimbledon.
Towler is on a season-long loan at Plough Lane, having moved on transfer deadline day, and has made four appearances for the Dons, becoming a part of Johnnie Jackson’s back three and has brought ball-playing ability from deep and composure in possession to the team.
Alongside him in defence is Brown, now 32 and still revered in the north part of Bristol for his last-minute winner against Dagenham & Redbridge which took the Gas into League One at the end of the 2015/16 season.
