Former Celtic winger Scott Sinclair has signed for Bristol City. The attacker, who was part of Brendan Rodgers’ Invincibles, had been without a club since the summer and was training with Chelsea in a bid to get himself fit.
This morning, Joey Barton’s side decided to make the move for the experienced, prolific forward.
The 33-year-old was released by Preston North End at the end of last season following two-and-a-half years with the Championship club.
Sinclair was a key player in the Treble Treble team as one of Brendan Rodgers’ favourite players. From signing from Villa, Sinclair scored on his debut and the next four games after that – becoming the first player in 94 years to score five goals in his first five games.
However, Rodgers’ departure and the arrival of Neil Lennon saw Sinclair’s game time dry up and he was clearly out of favour with Lennon. In 167 appearances, Sinclair scored 62 goals as well as winning 9 trophies in his time in Glasgow.
Best of luck to Scott.
