Bristol City forward Harry Cornick is close to completing a January loan move to Stevenage, Bristol Live<\/a> understands, but the deal is not yet believed to have been 100 per cent finalised at the time of writing.<\/p>\n Cornick, who is 30 years old, has been a fringe member of the Robins’ first-team squad<\/a> over the course of the last two seasons, with his last competitive start for the Reds coming in March of 2024.<\/p>\n The former Luton Town forward has featured in 15 matchday squads under Gerhard Struber this season, but has only made one appearance. That sole outing came in City’s Ashton Gate win over Hull City<\/a> in August, when he replaced Emil Riis<\/a> with six minutes to play.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Bristol City receive Radek Vitek boost ahead of Oxford as Gerhard Struber shares injury latest<\/a>READ MORE: Tomi Horvat link addressed as Gerhard Struber issues latest Bristol City January transfer update<\/a><\/p>\n Just last week, Struber admitted it would be “perfect” for the fan favourite<\/a> to get more playing time, something that simply isn’t on offer in BS3 currently. With a temporary move to Stevenage understood to be close, regular football is expected to be more likely under Alex Revell in League One.<\/p>\n Cornick’s current contract in south Bristol, which he signed when he arrived from Kenilworth Road in January 2023, is set to expire at the end of the season<\/a>. Should he depart on loan this month, as expected, he will likely have already played his final game in City colours.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old was brought to Ashton Gate under the management of Nigel Pearson<\/a> in the wake of Antoine Semenyo’s move to Bournemouth, alongside Anis Mehmeti, almost exactly three years ago.<\/p>\n In his first half season as a Robin, Cornick played 17 times, scoring once, and continued to be a regular fixture under both Pearson and Liam Manning<\/a> during the 2023\/24 campaign. In his first full term as a City player, the forward made 45 appearances in all competitions and popped up with two Championship goals.<\/p>\n Bristol City looking to build on last season’s play-off finish under Gerhard Struber and you won’t miss a beat with our free newsletter.<\/p>\n All the latest news, views, interviews, gossip and analysis concerning the Robins, delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n It’s completely free and you can sign up HERE<\/a><\/p>\n As the Reds secured a first play-off finish in nearly two decades last season, however, he found his minutes much more limited. In total, he featured on just five occasions, with his most recent goal coming in March of last year, when he turned home from close range in a 2-0 win over Millwall<\/a> at The Den.<\/p>\n With his game time even more restricted over the course of the last few months, it looks as though the 30-year-old is set to drop down a division to continue his career, before his time at Ashton Gate likely officially comes to an end this summer.<\/p>\n Under the management of Revell, Stevenage currently sit eighth in League One, just two points adrift of the play-off places and sixth-placed Bolton.<\/p>\n The Boro also have two games in hand on the teams around them in the table, so while they have only won one of their last eight league matches, they could climb into the top six with a couple of good results.<\/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.

On top of their early business, the Reds remain keen to secure the services of another striking option, and have been linked with Sturm Graz midfielder Tomi Hovart<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: EFL confirm schedule change for start of next season that could be set to impact Bristol City<\/a>READ MORE: Bristol City prospect Elijah Morrison makes January loan move to local National League side<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bristol Live understands that Bristol City forward Harry Cornick is close to completing a January loan move away…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":696187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,2686,748,393,14590,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-696186","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-football-league-championship","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115895501141667554","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696186","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=696186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0_GettyImages-2232406771.jpg\")
