Swindon complete deal for Roberts
Christian Roberts
Swindon boss Andy King has formally completed the signing of striker Christian Roberts from Bristol City on a two-and-a-half year deal.

Roberts, who has only scored once for City this season, is expected to make his debut against Oldham this weekend.

City last week accepted an initial �20,000 for him, plus a further �30,000 based on appearances and performances.

There is also an undisclosed sell-on fee included in the deal for the 24-year-old Welsh striker.

His chances of first-team football at Ashton Gate decreased with the signing of Paul Heffernan and Steve Brooker.

Swindon boss Andy King told his club's website: "He gives me another option.

"Although Jamie McMaster is here (on loan), I am not sure that playing up front is his best position.

"Roberts fits the bill that I have been looking for - we haven't had a type like him since Eric Sabin and Danny Invincibile."
