Timm Klose's one-year extension came as another positive piece of transfer business concluded by Bristol City with the club looking to get their deals done swiftly and efficiently.
The Swiss international signed a one-year contract extension with the option for an extra year meaning the 34-year-old could remain a Robin until the summer of 2024. It's a welcome boost for Nigel Pearson whose top priority is to fix a defence that leaked 77 goals throughout last season.
Yes, Klose played 18 of those matches after joining in January but City's defence looked a lot more solid and settled towards the end of the season with the experienced veteran marshalling the back three with Rob Atkinson to his left and Robbie Cundy to his right.
