Keeper Nikita Haikin is determined to step out of his comfort zone and challenge himself in the Championship after signing a short-term contract with Bristol City.
The 27-year-old has signed an initial deal until the end of the season after Dan Bentley joined Wolves. Haikin will now provide competition for Max O'Leary in goal with youngster Stefan Bajic joining Valenciennes on loan earlier in the window.
Haikin has been without a club since November when he departed Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt. They ended the Eliteserien in second, with the stopper featuring in 27 of their 30 matches.
