Bristol City have signed Rhys Knight from Irish side Bray Wanderers.
Knight has signed a three-and-a-half-year professional contract, which keeps him at the club until June 2029.
The 18-year-old and brother of City’s skipper Jason Knight will join Dennis Baranowski’s Under-21 side, bolstering an already talented midfield group.
City Technical Director Brian Tinnion said: “We’re excited to welcome Rhys to the club. He is a player with a lot of potential and one we hope thrives in this environment.
“We’re looking forward to working with him and supporting his development over the next couple of years.”
Progressing through the Seagulls’ academy system, Knight made 46 senior appearances for Bray Wanderers, playing in the League of Ireland’s Men’s First Division.
The midfielder made his debut in April 2024, bagging his first goal a year later, solidifying his place in Paul Heffernan’s side and ultimately helping the Wanderers reach the 2025 Promotion Play-Off.
As a fifth-year student at Clonkeen College, the youngster earned the prestigious Under-18 Boys’ Schools International Player of the Year award in 2025 after featuring in all Centenary Shield fixtures against Wales, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland.
