Wells having 'strong season' - Manning

Bristol City forward Nahki Wells is having a "really strong season", says manager Liam Manning, who has praised the example the striker sets within the team.

Wells scored his ninth league goal of the campaign and set up another as Bristol City beat Watford 2-1 to move into the Championship play-off places.

The 34-year-old is the oldest player in the Robins squad and the only player over the age of 30.

"He's having a really strong season when you look at his goal return and beyond that his performance level has been excellent as well," Manning told BBC Radio Bristol.

"He's the only senior [player] we've got in the group - Rob's [Dickie] the next one - but he does an outstanding job of every day bringing energy, staying calm, role modelling what you want from a professional."
