Bristol City are interested in bringing Joe Bryan back to Ashton Gate, five years after he was sold to Fulham, but face competition from a host of Championship rivals all eager to sign the full-back on a free transfer this summer.
Message boards and social media have been ablaze with rumours over the last week concerning the potential of Bryan’s return to his hometown this summer, and Bristol Live understands the 29-year-old is a target for the Robins as his contract expires at Craven Cottage.
Bryan has spent this season on loan in Ligue 1 with Nice but has experienced a frustrating campaign of precious first-team football making just 10 appearances.
