Johnson lines up new keeper
Bristol City, 12:18, January 22, 2010 ,
Bristol City boss Gary Johnson is set to sign former Crewe and Yeovil keeper Steve Collis on a short-term deal.
Former number one Adriano Basso looks set to move on this month so the Robins need competition for Dean Gerken which Johnson is confident Collis will provide for the rest of the season.
Johnson managed the 28-year-old at Huish Park earlier in his career and his arrival will allow Stephen Henderson to go out on loan in search of first-team football.
"Steve is a player I know very well from my time at Yeovil and he is a very capable keeper," Johnson told the club's website.
"Steve contacted us after leaving Crewe and asked if he could come training and he's been with us for a few weeks now.
"Not a lot of people are aware of his situation and he's sneaked under the radar to an extent. We've got ourselves a very good keeper and he will provide strong competition for Dean Gerken."
