Bristol City have signed Alfie Mawson from Fulham.

The newly promoted Premier League club have let Mawson leave for the Championship team on a season long loan.

It will allow Mawson to get regular game time, and he is Bristol's third signing of the summer.

Mawson did play 28 games for Fulham last term, helping them to achieve promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs.

City Chief Executive Officer Mark Ashton said: "Alfie will make an excellent addition to Dean's squad and I am delighted to see this deal completed at the beginning of the new season. Alfie is a player we have been interested in for some time and I am pleased to say we have got our man."

Robins Head Coach Holden said: "I've watched Alfie develop over the last few years and I've always liked him as a player. He fits perfectly the profile of player I want in our squad. Having spoken to him at length, he is keen to be part of what we are building here. I am aware there were other clubs in for him but he felt this was the right place for him."
