Bristol City have announced the loan signing of Fabian Giefer from Schalke.
The German goalkeeper will stay at Ashton Gate until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old, who has also played for Bayer Leverkusen and Dusseldorf, has made three first-team appearances for the Royal Blues since joining in 2014, the latest coming in the Europa League against Red Bull Salzburg in December.
Robins boss Lee Johnson told the club's website: "Fabian has come in to compete for the number one jersey.
"He's certainly got a good pedigree, having played in the Bundesliga, and we hope he has a successful spell with us."
Giefer will not be able to make his City debut until the club receive international clearance.
