Bristol City won’t have to pay any compensation for the free transfer of Haydon Roberts, Bristol Live understands, with the Brighton & Hove Albion defender set to become the Robins’ third addition of the summer window.
Roberts has agreed personal terms on a move to Ashton Gate amid intense interest across the Championship and from League One Derby County, where he spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan, as his deal with the Seagulls expires at the end of the month.
City have won the race for the 21-year-old after he visited the High Performance Centre last week to meet with manager Nigel Pearson and, barring any late issues, he should fellow new signings Ross McCrorie and Rob Dickie once the deal is confirmed.
