Bristol City have signed midfielder Gary O'Neil from Norwich on a two-year deal.
The 33-year-old, who has won promotion to the Premier League four times with four different clubs, was out of contract at Norwich this summer.
"Gary is a really good signing for us, who adds everything we need to our midfield," City boss Lee Johnson told the club's official website.
"He's very experienced, having won promotion from the Championship on four occasions.
"He may have just turned 33, but he's still fully mobile and very fit.
"It's important for us to get the balance right between youth and experience and he's a fantastic character to have around the club. I'm thoroughly looking forward to working with him."
O'Neil started out at Portsmouth, making his senior debut aged 16, and won his first promotion to the top flight with the club.
He made 192 appearances for the south-coast club and moved on to Middlesbrough before winning promotion from the Championship three times in four seasons with West Ham, QPR and Norwich, for whom he made 27 Premier League appearances last season.
