Three Moore years for Taylor

The 23-year-old defender, who has played all but seven minutes of the Robins’ six games this season and helped keep four clean sheets, follows Max O’Leary and Zak Vyner in agreeing long-term deals to stay in BS3.

Moore, who joined from Lens in August 2016, has made 37 appearances for City as well as developing through four loans across the Football League. 

Chief Executive Officer Mark Ashton said: “We are delighted to have secured Taylor on a long-term deal and that he considers Bristol City as his footballing home. We’ve obviously had interest from him but we are committed to investing in our young players as we have shown with Max O’Leary and Zak Vyner also signing this week.”

Head Coach Dean Holden added: “Taylor is really stepping forward to establish himself in the first team as a player and a leader. He’s had a great start to the season and I’m pleased that he has secured a contract that will keep him here for the next few years.” 

Moore made his City debut in September 2016 in the 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Fulham and made seven appearances in the 2016/17 season before joining Bury on loan. He went on to enjoy loan spells with Cheltenham Town in League Two (2017/18), before Southend United (2018/19) and Blackpool (2019/20) in League One.
