Nicky Shorey: Bristol City sign former Reading left-back

Former Reading left-back Nicky Shorey has joined League One Bristol City on a short-term contract.

The 32-year-old, whose deal will run until 30 December, had been training with the Robins after he was released by the Royals in the summer.

He made 317 appearances across two spells with Championship side Reading, and has previously had stints with Aston Villa and West Brom.

Shorey could make his Bristol City debut against Gillingham on Saturday.
