A simple and cursory glance of social media will tell you that for a number of fans of Championship clubs, Kane Wilson was the one they all wanted. And while that will invariably lead to digital puffing of chests and launching of fictional warships that intend to urinate from a great height on England’s second tier, it says a great deal about Bristol City.
That the club who finished 17th in the division, who didn’t secure back-to-back wins until the final home game of the season, have managed to secure one of the most coveted free agents in the EFL, is worthy of momentary celebration before we even get into the concept of what he could add to this team.
Geography has helped, as Bristol is within striking distance of the village of Tetbury, where Wilson has called home for the last two years, and clearly his preference was to remain in the West Country. He has a young family very much settled in the area, and there is already a familiarity with the city, which you and I both know would be a major draw for any sensible human being.
