Bristol City are set to complete the signing of Swindon Town defender Matt Heywood.

The 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal at Ashton Gate and is set to sign later this week when he returns from holiday.

"The deal has been agreed," said Heywood.

City could complete a number of deals this week with Heywood's Swindon team-mate Grant Smith also expected to agree terms.

Marcus Stewart is also understood to be close to signing on the dotted line for Brian Tinnion's side after shunning offers from a number of other interested parties.
