Bristol City have signed Wales international striker Sam Vokes from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on a five-month loan.

The 20-year-old will go straight into the squad for the match against Millwall after injuries to Nicky Maynard and Danny Haynes.

\"Sam's been a player who's been a thorn in the side of my old team Reading over the years,\" said boss Steve Coppell

\"He's always looked a handful that's a good criteria.\"

Vokes signed for Wolves in 2008 on a four-year deal from Bournemouth.

He has made 41 league appearances in that time and found the net on six occasions.

The Hampshire-born forward also had a loan spell at Leeds last season where he made eight starts scoring his only goal against City's local rivals Bristol Rovers.

Another team with a HUGE budget, where does all this money come from? Bristol City....promotion: Sh*t or bust? Are they the next Leeds or dare I say it Portsmouth?

Their chairman is worth £300m, is a Bristol City fan and very ambitious so I'm not surprised that they are trying to build a team to challenge for promotion. Vokes should be an okay signing for them although I think this will have affected our chances of getting Keogh (if there were any chance to start with). I can't see Wolves letting another striker go because they only have four left.
