Nahki Wells scored twice for Bristol City Under-23s against Cardiff City, just 24 hours after the Bluebirds had made two failed loan attempts to sign the Bermudian striker.
With Nigel Pearson and assistant Curtis Fleming watching from the stands of the Robins High Performance Centre, Wells struck either side of half-time in a 3-3 draw with Cardiff as the visitors came back from 3-0 down.
Wells emerged as a Cardiff transfer target on the Sunday night before deadline day in anticipation of Kieffer Moore’s move to Bournemouth but they were only prepared to make loan offers and City’s position was always that they would only let the 31-year-old leave on a permanent deal.
