Former Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill is ready to deploy loanee Taylor Moore as a defensive midfielder this season after failing to "fulfil his potential as a Championship centre-back."
The 25-year-old is one of five senior players to leave the Robins this summer having been deemed surplus to requirements under Nigel Pearson. He spent last campaign on loan with Hearts but remained in and out of the first-team making just 12 starts in the Scottish Premiership.
A return to Pearson's plans this summer always seemed highly unlikely and he completed his temporary switch to League One Shrewsbury at the beginning of the month with Moore keen to find stability and consistency having had six different loan spells since joining BS3 in 2016.
