Bristol City manager Gary Johnson will take a further look at Martin Lejsal before deciding whether or not to sign him.

The 26-year-old Czech goalkeeper made a trial appearance in last night's 2-1 pre-season friendly win at Dorchester and will be given another opportunity to impress when City host Premier League newcomers Wolves at Ashton Gate on Saturday.

Lejsal is under contract to Czech club FC Brno, but Johnson is confident he can negotiate a season-long loan rather than a permanent deal.

He said: "We have two options, either pay a fee or arrange a loan. Personally, I favour the latter.But I will need to have another look at the lad, because he had a quiet game against Dorchester."

Bristol City scored through John Akinde and a Danny Haynes penalty. Former Bath City forward Phil Walsh – son of City coach Alan – pulled a goal back in the 62nd minute.
