Jonathan Gould is to move to Bristol City from Preston. Gould spent the early part of this season on loan to Hereford United.
The former Celtic and Preston North End goalkeeper will train with his new City team-mates at Abbots Leigh this morning before signing a contract until the end of the current campaign.
The 36-year-old will act as an understudy to current first choice Steve Phillips and is seen as back-up for the City No.1 should an injury or suspension occur.
Brian Tinnion told bcfc.co.uk: "Jonathan is experienced and lives in Bristol so it's an ideal situation for everyone.
"We don't really have cover for Steve Phillips at the moment and as he's currently one booking away from a ban we can't afford to be caught short.
"We've got a busy Easter period coming up too and if Steve was to get injured between the Bournemouth and Swindon games we would find it hard to bring someone in."
But Tins warned: "He will add competition for the goalkeeping position, but he has not come in to take Steve's place.
