Ross McCrorie's expected arrival is the first step in addressing the balance that Nigel Pearson has craved in order to turn Bristol City into play-off contenders next season.
The City manager has been widely encouraged by the signs of progress his team have been making this season, both on and off the pitch, after they surpassed last season's points tally with two games to spare following the 2-1 victory over Rotherham on Saturday.
City's lack of strength in depth has been a concern over the course of the season, especially at the back and in midfield, which has been magnified with injuries to Tomas Kalas, Rob Atkinson, Kal Naismith, and Joe Williams during significant parts of the campaign.
