Nahki Wells: Bristol City forward to leave club after five-and-a-half years

Wells joined Bristol City from Burnley in January 2020 in a deal worth £5m and has been a regular presence in their front line under managers Lee Johnson, Dean Holden, Nigel Pearson and most recently Liam Manning.

Manning said in March – before he left to become Norwich head coach – he hoped Wells would extend his stay at the club after having a “fantastic season”.

This season the Bermuda international was the only player in the squad over the age of 30 and he leaves four days after Gerhard Struber was appointed the new head coach.

“I’d like to thank Nahki for everything he has given to Bristol City in his time here,” Bristol City chairman Jon Lansdown said.

“He has been an exceptional role model on and off the pitch, contributing significantly both to the first team and to the development of a number of our young players, and also helping the Robins Foundation to make a difference in our community.”
