Rob Atkinson has joined Bristol City from Oxford United for an undisclosed fee, putting pen to paper on a three-year contract with the option of a further year.
The centre-back was ever-present for the U’s last season and impressed supporters as he went on to be named in the PFA League One Team of the Year and Sky Bet League One Team of the Season.
The 22-year-old helped his side reach the play-offs but, despite getting on the scoresheet himself, Atkinson’s side were beaten by eventual winners Blackpool over two legs.
Atkinson, who has risen through the divisions of English football, now makes the step up to Championship football with City and he’s looking forward to the challenge.
