Leicester City defender Liam Moore has joined Bristol City on loan until January. Moore played a major role in Leicester’s 2013/14 Championship winning campaign, and Bristol have turned to the 22-year-old to reinforce defensively after a stuttering return to England’s second tier.

The England Under-21 international made 12 appearances in the Premier League last season under Nigel Pearson but has not been selected by Claudio Ranieri in a successful opening four games this term which have propelled Leicester to third in the table, although Moore did feature in the 4-1 Capital One Cup win at Bury last week.

Bristol City have lost three of their opening five games after winning League One last season. Steve Cotterill has started the season playing three at the back, made up of Luke Ayling, Derrick Williams and Aden Flint and Moore is expected to challenge for one of the roles.
