Bristol City: Robins take £50,000 "punt" on Arnold Garita

BRISTOL City have agreed on a fee to sign Cameroonian striker Arnold Garita from French third Division side LB Chateauroux.

The Robins have parted £50,000 for the 20-year-old, who underwent a trial in November, and he has been signed predominantly to play for Wade Elliott's under-21 side.

However, if the paperwork for Garita is done on time, manager Steve Cotterill could place him on the bench for the FA Cup game with West Brom at the Hawthorns this weekend.

Cotterill said: "He's big, young, raw and hungry. "He's a 50,000 punt and I just feel there is something about him."
