Turn those notifications on, don't dare to sleep and certainly keep an eye out because it's going to be a busy few days ahead for Bristol City.

After the confirmed senior signings of Jay Dasilva, Dan Bentley and Sammie Szmodics we understand that Tomas Kalas will join the club and be announced on a permanent deal shortly, as well as Rene Gilmartin from Colchester United, who will be announced next week once his contract expires.

And we can also reveal that Bristol City will also be announcing the signing of former Doncaster Rovers captain Tommy Rowe.

The Robins have again seen off several clubs to snap up the 30-year-old utility man who will play a vital role for Lee Johnson's 2019/20 squad as he will be able to cover several different positions on the pitch.

City's extraordinary recruitment drive continues and Rowe will be announced once his contract with Donny officially ends on 30 June.

An official club announcement will likely come on Monday or Tuesday.

Rowe is a former Manchester United youth player, and played 118 times for Rovers, as well as spending time at Stockport, Peterborough, Wolves and Scunthorpe United. He can play across midfield, left-back or even left-wing.

He recently played in the League One play-offs where unfortunately he missed the final penalty in the shoot-out that saw Charlton Athletic head to Wembley for the League One play-off final - and that will have been Rowe's last kick of the ball for the Yorkshire side.

"I think that sometimes semantics of contractual situations can be key, in terms of the intricacies of an individual contract and bonuses to be paid and loyalties and players running out of contract and if you announce stuff too early you have to pay the extra wages when the contract actually finishes July 1," said Lee Johnson on the transfer market recently.

"A lot of deals will be tucked in the drawer signed and ready, but at the same time we've got to continue our way of doing it: to try and stay as quiet as possible until we've got proper news to tell people."

Former Donny boss Grant McCann explained recently that Rowe had offers to consider - and it's the one at Ashton Gate that he has chosen, after we reported during the week that Rowe was of interest to the Robins.

“Nothing is really materialising on that with Tommy,” McCann said last month to the Doncaster Free Press on his club's attempts to sign Rowe to a new deal, before the manager's switch to Hull City earlier this month.

“He’s got a lot of clubs interested in him.”

Meanwhile, we expect an official announcement on Czech Republic Kalas at any time and it could be that the returning central defender is announced alongside the club's new away kit.

A reveal is likely to come early next week, following the confirmation of Szmodics and Bentley ahead of the weekend instead.

Goalkeeper Bentley was announced wearing the new goalkeeper kit for the 2019/20 season on Friday evening.

As we reported back in April, we were told to expect a busy summer of player trading in BS3 - and so it is as the new Robins squad comes together over the next few days.
