Bristol City sign Cardiff City goalkeeper Dave Richards on an initial loan deal, which will become permanent in January.

The 19-year-old will provide cover for Frank Fielding, who missed Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Brentford with a hand injury.

He will challenge Elliot Parish for a starting place in Fielding's absence.

"Competition is important to push each other and keep everyone on top of their game," Robins goalkeeping coach Lee Kendall told reporters.

Richards will join the Robins on a permanent basis in January.
