Interest grows in Bristol City defender as Robins weigh up prospect of summer sale

Kane Wilson could be edging closer to the Bristol City exit door with interest from clubs in the Championship and League One, just 12 months after the Robins fought off a number of rivals to bring the talented defender to Ashton Gate.

Wilson has experienced a challenging campaign in BS3 as after signing for City from Forest Green Rovers as one of the most sought-after free agents in the EFL, he sustained an injury before the final pre-season game of the summer against Bournemouth and then lost his place in the starting XI to Mark Sykes.

A knee injury sustained in October kept him out until February and after returning to full fitness he found his place in the side blocked by George Tanner and the fact the Robins had reverted to a flat back-four, with Nigel Pearson even preferring Under-21 full-back Harry Leeson in his matchday squad.
