City have appointed Luke Williams as the club’s new Under-23s coach.
The 36-year-old former Swindon Town boss takes up his post immediately, heading up the development group ready for the 2017/18 season.
Head coach Lee Johnson said: “I’m really looking forward to working with Luke.
“He’s someone I’ve spoken to four or five times about this role. His fantastic reputation as a coach precedes him, certainly from everyone I’ve spoken to.
“I’m excited both that he’s joining Bristol City and the dynamic he will bring with him.”
The club’s chief executive officer Mark Ashton said: “I’m delighted Luke has agreed to join the club.
“Luke is an experienced coach, who comes with an outstanding reputation in the footballing world. He also boasts experience in management.
“I believe he will bolster our strong coaching unit, alongside Lee Johnson, Dean Holden and Jamie McAllister.”
