JAMIE Knight-Lebel has shed light on his “late” loan switch to Swindon Town - with the Bristol City prospect enjoying his first few weeks at the County Ground having made the temporary move from Ashton Gate on deadline day.

Knight-Lebel was one of three City players to depart south Bristol on loan in the final hours of the summer transfer window, with fellow Under-21 regular Adam Murphy also making the move to Swindon, while Sam Bell traded BS3 for Adams Park to spend the season with Wycombe.

Having made his Swindon debut from the bench against Harrogate in September, the 20-year-old has started each of Ian Holloway’s side's last three League Two matches, even finding the net from defence in the Robins’ 3-2 defeat to Salford City.

After enjoying a successful loan spell in the fourth tier with Crewe last term, Knight-Lebel spent much of preseason in Gerhard Struber's squad. While that proved to be valuable for his development and the defender still wants to compete for a place in the City ranks, he felt another loan spell was the best next step for his career.
