Birmingham City have signed Taylor Gardner-Hickman from Championship club Bristol City.

The 22-year-old Shropshire-born former West Bromwich Albion midfielder has signed initally on loan with a view to a more permanent deal.

He becomes the League One promotion favourites' 12th signing of the summer transfer window.

Gardner-Hickman, who joined Bristol City from Albion initially on loan in August 2023, has scored one goal in 40 appearances for the Robins.

"It's all about building good depth within the squad," Blues boss Chris Davies told ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio WM.

"He's young still, but he already has good experience in the Championship with West Bromwich Albion and Bristol City.

"He's high energy. He's versatile. And he's a player that fits in profile wise with the type of team we want to be.

"Another example who falls into the category of Championship-level players who believe in the project that we're building here."
