Joe Lumley: Bristol City sign free-agent goalkeeper on two-year deal

Lumley was mainly second choice at Southampton, playing solely in the FA Cup during their Championship promotion-winning season.

He went on to play three times in an eight-day spell in the top flight, between the end of November and start of December last year.

“I’ve heard amazing things about the club, it has an amazing training ground. It was a no-brainer to sign here,” Lumley told the club website, external.

“It’s exciting for me, hopefully I can get to work straight away and show what I can do.”

Technical director Brian Tinnion added: “Joe is a goalkeeper with experience in the EFL and Premier League.

“He adds both strength and depth to the goalkeeping department and we’re excited to work with him.”
