Bristol City goalkeeper signs new contract as he steps up to support Max O'Leary

Bristol City goalkeeper Harvey Wiles-Richards has signed a new one-year contract at Ashton Gate. The Bath-born prospect's contract was due to expire this summer but the Robins have secured his services for at least another year.

With Dan Bentley leaving for Wolves in January and mid-season addition Nikita Haikin making a hasty return to Norway this week with the termination of his contract, there has been significant upheaval in the Robins' goalkeeping department this campaign.

Nigel Pearson promoted Max O'Leary to the number one role this term ahead of Bentley, and with Stefan Bajic out on loan in his native France, Wiles-Richards will be City's number two goalkeeper for the rest of this season.
