Bristol City youngsters on loving life on pre-season Spain tour

The Young Robin is travelling on tour for the first time in his career and it comes after he made his debut in October of last year against Southampton at the age of 17.

Pecover enjoyed a successful loan spell last season at Weston-super-Mare, helping the Seagulls to the National League South Play-Offs.

Speaking to Bristol City's website, Pecover said: "It’s definitely hotter than expected, but it’s been a good start’.

He added: “After last season, the season I had with making my debut and finishing on loan, I definitely wanted to get back here and break into the squad.”

On the intensity of the sessions, specifically the first session out in Spain, Pecover said: “The intensity is so hard and you’ve got to keep yourself upright and look like you’re not struggling even if you are.”

And it comes as young goalkeeper Freddie Godden said the heat is ‘testing’ in Spain on his first training camp with Bristol City. Godden signed his first professional deal with the club in October last year at the age of 17, having joined the academy back in 2019.

On being told he was travelling to Alicante, the now 18-year old said he was ‘buzzing’. He added: “I have always wanted to come out here [on these trips] and I have been looking forward to it ever since I was told.”
