‘Right decision’ – Many Bristol City supporters react to player announcement | OneFootball

Bristol City’s depleted first-team squad has suffered another setback after the club announced the departure of Chris Brunt on Sunday night.

The Robins are already without no less than nine senior players through injury, and after finding out the extent of Brunt’s recent calf problem, have decided to terminate his contract with immediate effect.

Following his release from West Brom at the end of last season, Brunt signed a one-year contract at Ashton Gate.

The 35-year-old has been a regular in Dean Holden’s side, making 14 appearances in all competitions, six of which have been starts, but sustained a calf problem during City’s defeat at Rotherham United last month.
