The capture of Nicky Maynard has impressed Louis Carey.
ON the back of the clubs 1-0 defeat of Blackpool at Bloomfield Road, the Bristol City captain Louis Carey has been talking up his sides chances thanks to their ambition shown in pre-season.


Carey believes that the £2.25million capture of Nicky Maynard proves that City have ambition to reach the Premiership this season and smashing their transfer record to recruit a highly-rated striker demonstrates the clubs intention to challenge for promotion again.

He told the Western Daily Press: "Paying that kind of money shows we mean business. We intend to be fighting at the top of the table as we did in 2007/08."

"Nicky is a quality player and it's pleasing that we have been able to bring such a talented lad into our squad."
