Bristol City have signed Republic of Ireland international Sinclair Armstrong from Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old forward has signed a four-year deal at Ashton Gate until the summer of 2028.

The Dubliner came through the ranks at Shamrock Rovers, who are set to receive a percentage of the fee believed to be approximately €3million, before making the switch the West London in the Autumn of 2020.

Making his debut on the opening day of the 22/23 season, Armstrong made 40 appearances in all competitions for the Rs last term.

“I feel proud to have this opportunity and to come to this big club. I’m looking forward to growing and being with the boys and I can’t wait for the matches to come up," Armstrong told the club's official website.

“I think I can make a very big impact. I think I bring something different and I’m a different type of player. I’m a player that come short into feet and hold it up and run in-behind and score some goals.

“I’ve learned a lot about myself and being here hopefully I can take it to the next level.”

Head Coach Liam Manning added: “It is no secret Sinclair was sought after by several clubs, and his strength and physicality along with a desire to compete and work is only going to be beneficial to our squad.

“He has a good amount of Championship experience for someone so young, and we are looking forward to seeing him showcase his ability in a City shirt.”

Technical Director Brian Tinnion added: “We’re delighted to be able to get this deal over the line and bring Sinclair to the club.

“He adds a new dimension to our attack, and he is a player with a high ceiling that is only going to improve.”
