Bristol City have completed the signing of Australian international defender Bailey Wright.
The 24-year-old joins the club from Preston North End for an undisclosed fee, penning a two-and-a-half-year contract, with a further year option.
He successfully passed a medical before training with his team-mates ahead of the Emirates FA Cup clash with Fleetwood Town at Ashton Gate, where he could now make his debut.
Head coach Lee Johnson said: “Bailey has a warrior spirit and represents a good signing for us.
“He’s 24 and has great Championship experience; he’s a tough, Australian international – he’s an old-fashioned stopper.
“Jamie McAllister (Under-23 coach) was with him at Preston and only had good things to say about him.”
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Wright joined Preston’s youth setup after a year in the Victoria Institute of Sport.
Wright’s senior debut came in 2010/11 and he was soon rewarded with a first professional contract.
Voted Young Player of the Season in 2012/13, Wright continued to be a mainstay in the Lilywhites defence.
Then in 2014/15 he was part of the Preston team that won promotion via the League One play-offs after a protracted battle with eventual champions City.
Wright scored on his debut for Australia, a header against Saudi Arabia at Craven Cottage. He has been capped 12 times by his country and went to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Season Tickets for the 2022/23 campaign are selling at a record pace, with more than 9,000 supporters already committed.
