Bristol City have announced the signing of Sweden international Joel Ekstrand on a one-year deal.

The 27-year-old defender has been on trial at the Sky Bet Championship club for the last five weeks and will now join compatriot Gustav Engvall - a deadline day capture from IFK Gothenburg - in Lee Johnson's squad.

Ekstrand, who like Engvall has won two caps for his country, was available on a free transfer after his contract with Watford expired in the summer.

City boss Johnson told bcfc.co.uk: "Joel is a top player, full of Sky Bet Championship experience.
