Bristol City sign Horvat and Eile

Bristol City have signed Slovenia international midfielder Tomi Horvat from Sturm Graz and defender Noah Eile from New York Red Bulls.

Horvat, 26, has signed on a four-and-a-half-year-deal and Eile, 23, a three-and-a-half-year contract with the option of another 12 months, both for undisclosed fees.

Robins head coach Gerhard Struber said earlier this month that Horvat was "on the radar" and he had a profile that would fit into their "world of football in a really good way".

Horvat has been playing for the Austrian Bundesliga side since 2022, winning the league title the past two seasons and also twice clinching the Austrian Cup.

The duo take Bristol City's total signings for the transfer window to six, following deals for Sam Morsy, George Earthy, Delano Burgzorg and Seb Naylor.

Horvat has been capped 12 times by Slovenia and has featured in their three most recent World Cup qualifiers.

"Everyone knows how competitive the Championship is and I am raring to get going," Horvat said.

"It is a big second half of the season and I want to do all I can to help the team push on at the top end of the table."

Sweden's Eile joins from the Major League Soccer side where he has spent the past two seasons.

"We are excited to have Noah at our club," Struber said.

"He has shown consistency with his performances in the MLS with the Red Bulls.

"His attitude and mentality are big wins for us and we want to develop him now in the world of Championship football in our typical style."

Eile said it was a "dream" to move to Bristol City.

"I cannot wait to get started and win some games," he added.
