Ryley Towler admits he was tucked up in bed on transfer deadline day when the call came in about a loan switch to AFC Wimbledon.
The highly-rated Bristol City defender joined the League Two side until the end of the season in the final few minutes of the transfer window, with the Robins holding a recall option in January. It represented the only piece of business conducted by the club on a quiet final day of the window.
It's the 20-year-old's fourth loan move in four seasons, but his first in the Football League having had stints with Frome Town, Taunton Town and Grimsby Town last campaign when injury cut his time with the National League side short. On the surface of it, a move to Wimbledon seems like a great fit for the 20-year-old.
