Bristol City forward Armstrong joins Goztepe

Bristol City forward Sinclair Armstrong has left the Championship club in order to join Turkish side Goztepe for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old joined the Robins from Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 2024. He made 83 appearances for the club, including 45 last season, and scored seven goals.

Armstrong has signed a four-year contract at Gursel Aksel Stadium with the option of an additional 12 months.

"Everyone at Bristol City wishes Sinclair and everyone connected with him the best on the next stage of his football career," said Bristol City sporting director James Ellis.

"We will watch from afar the next stage of his development and thank him for his contribution in a City shirt."

A Republic of Ireland international, Armstrong has made one appearance for his country, against the Netherlands in 2024.

Goztepe finished sixth in the Turkish Super Lig last season, one place outside of the European spots, and are owned by Sport Republic, who also hold an 80% stake in Bristol City's Championship rivals Southampton.
