Nahki Wells To Leave Bristol City
Nahki Wells is set to leave Sky Bet Championship side Bristol City at the end of the month after five-and-a-half years.
The Bermuda striker, whose contract has expired, has thanked team-mates and supporters for his time at Ashton Gate, where he scored 48 goals in 237 appearances in all competitions.
Wells, 35, joined City in January 2020 for £5 million [$6.2 million].
“Over the past five-and-half years, I’ve built a massive connection with so many people at Bristol City, from the staff at the Robins High-Performance Centre and the fans at Ashton Gate to the many amazing people in the local community,” Wells told Bristol Live.
“We’ve created so many special memories that will live with me forever.
“You’ve taken me in as one of your own and made my family feel at home from the moment I joined the club.
“The moment on the pitch at Ashton Gate finding out we’d made the play-off places is something I will never forget, celebrating something we worked so hard to achieve with the fans who backed us the whole way. I wish you all the best, up the City,” he added.
Jon Lansdown, the City chairman, hailed Wells’s professionalism and appetite for hard work. “I’d like to thank Nahki for everything he has given to Bristol City in his time here,” he said.
“He has been an exceptional role model on and off the pitch, contributing significantly both to the first team and to the development of a number of our young players, and also helping the Robins Foundation to make a difference in our community.
“We wish Nahki all the best for the future,” he added.
