Lorent Tolaj has signed a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee and will wear City\u2019s No. 9 shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Swiss striker joins following a superb season with Plymouth Argyle, where he scored 21 goals, including 17 in the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tolaj is City\u2019s seventh senior signing of the summer and links up with Michael Skubala\u2019s squad after an in-demand close season in which he has been courted by a host of clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really happy to be here,\u201d said Tolaj. \u201cAs soon as Bristol City contacted my agent I wanted to get the deal done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a great club with a great fanbase and I spoke with the manager about the plan. I am ambitious and this club is ambitious, so that\u2019s why I wanted to come here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo make the step up is important for me and I will give everything for this football club.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tolaj has had a remarkable rise in English football at just 24, playing for Aldershot in the National League in 2024 and thriving at Port Vale in League Two before joining the Pilgrims.\u00a0<\/p>\n
City Manager Michael Skubala said: \u201cWe are really pleased to add Lorent\u2019s physicality and intensity to our front line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis progression over the past few seasons is testament to both his talent and work ethic. He will add a different dimension to our squad and we believe he will thrive working with the group.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sporting Director James Ellis added: \u201cWe know this is an area we needed to strengthen with quality and depth. We have highlighted the need to support the team in creating and converting chances in a market that is expensive and challenging.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really pleased that we have managed to bring a player to support the growth of our group and who has the mentality and hunger to be the best version he can be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo get this done, at this time in the window, allows Lorent to integrate with the group and everyone is looking forward to working with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would like to thank Plymouth Argyle for the way they worked with us to bring Lorent to Bristol City.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
