Bristol City: Ben Hamer ends loan and returns to Leicester City

Ben Hamer came through the youth ranks at Reading but failed to make a single league appearance for the Royals

Goalkeeper Ben Hamer is returning to Leicester City after seeing his season-long loan spell at Championship club Bristol City cut short.

The 27-year-old joined the Robins in August to offer competition and cover for then injured Frank Fielding.

Hamer, a boyhood Bristol City fan, made five appearances for the club before Fielding returned as first-choice.

Bristol City host league leaders Hull on Saturday with four clean sheets from their last six matches.

Hamer, who is now expected to seek a loan move elsewhere, has made 10 appearances for Leicester since joining them from Charlton in 2014.
