Bristol City prospects Adam Murphy and Jamie Knight-Lebel are both set to complete loan moves to Swindon Town, Bristol Live understands, as the Robins continue to make their final changes to their squad ahead of the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
Murphy joined the Reds\u2019 ranks from Irish side St Patrick\u2019s Athletic in January 2024 and linked up with City\u2019s Under-21s side for the remainder of that season. Injuries limited his involvement, but he impressed in flashes for the Young Robins before spending parts of the following pre-season with the first team.<\/p>\n
The Ireland youth international continued to struggle with fitness issues last term, but seemingly managed to shake those off in the second half of the campaign. Murphy was a regular starter for the Reds\u2019 Under-21s following the turn of the year and impressed with several combative midfield showings.<\/p>\n

Although he is yet to make a competitive senior appearance for the Robins, he started their pre-season draw with Cheltenham Town and was named on the bench for the season-opener at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n At Swindon, Murphy will get his first chance to play senior football in England, under the management of Bristol Rovers<\/a> icon and former QPR and Blackpool boss Ian Holloway at the County Ground.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old won\u2019t be the only Reds prospect heading across the M4 either, with Knight-Lebel also set to spend the campaign in League Two with the Robins.<\/p>\n A product of City\u2019s academy, the Canadian international spent last season on loan in the fourth tier with Crewe Alexandra, where he made 38 appearances in all competitions, scoring three times, as the Railwaymen finished 13th under the management of Lee Bell.<\/p>\n Join Bristol City Live’s Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol City stories sent straight to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol City Live<\/a> is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our community.<\/p>\n Through the app, we\u2019ll send the Bristol City news, live match coverage, team news, transfers, fixtures, analysis and more straight to your phone.<\/p>\n To join our community you need to already have WhatsApp. All you need to do is click this link and select \u2018Join Community\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Bristol Live<\/a> team.<\/p>\n We also treat community members to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners.

The centre-back travelled to the Algarve, featured in friendlies against Cheltenham and Newport County, but has not been included in a single competitive matchday squad so far this term.<\/p>\n With the Robins’ backline boosted by the addition of Neto Borges and the club\u2019s desire to keep Zak Vyner at Ashton Gate beyond the transfer deadline well documented, a spell at the County Ground should provide Knight-Lebel with the opportunity to continue his development.<\/p>\n You can follow all of the deadline day news and updates via our live blog by clicking HERE…<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: ‘Feels amazing’ – Neto Borges’ first words as Bristol City make Brazilian fifth summer signing<\/a>READ MORE: Gerhard Struber outlines Bristol City transfer aim as Robins boss shares plan for deadline day<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Murphy and Jamie Knight-Lebel both travelled with Bristol City for their pre-season training camp in PortugalAdam Murphy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389397,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,2686,748,393,4884,40818,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-389396","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-bristol-city-fc","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-ian-holloway","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115129469447615629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1744476931_129_0_WhatsApp-Phone.jpg\")
