Former Swindon Town striker Elijah Adebayo has signed a two-year deal with local rivals Bristol City after a trial period this summer.
Adebayo, 28, has joined on a permanent contract after leaving Luton Town at the end of last season, having been on trial with City, which included playing an hour against Swindon in a pre-season friendly.
During his time in Wiltshire, Adebayo made 25 appearances and scored five goals as he was on loan in the 2018/19 season.

Adebayo began his professional career at Fulham before arriving at the Nigel Eady County Ground on a season-long loan from The Cottagers.
He quickly found form, scoring four goals in a seven-game spell, including a late equaliser against Milton Keynes Dons and a match-winner at Morecambe.
However, his time at Swindon was cut short in January after a change in management, with Richie Wellens replacing Phil Brown, as the current Leyton Orient manager grew frustrated with Adebayo.
Wellens said that the striker was late to training every day during one week of his spell, which was a big reason for his being sent back.
Adebayo has since gone on to play for Luton Town, where he helped secure promotion to the Premier League and netted double-figure goals in the top flight, even whilst they suffered relegation.
