Reasonable success in Spain’s second tier and in Germany followed, but it seems life back in England is proving tough once again for the 29-year-old, who has been left out of four of the last five Robins matchday squads.

Signing on October 16, he made his debut from the bench three days later in a 3-0 defeat at Luton.

Two further substitute appearances have followed, as well as a start against Wigan that lasted less than an hour. He is yet to register a goal or assist.

On the day he signed he told the Bristol City club website: “It’s my job to score goals and I will try my best for this club and this team and I want them to be in first place.

“I am really happy to be in England again. It’s a new opportunity for me to show my football and I’m excited to start playing.

“I think the English league suits my style of football and I can help the club - together we will enjoy this season.”
