Career

He eventually signed for League One side Bristol City shortly after the 2005–06 campaign had begun, making his first team debut against Swindon Town on 11 November 2005.

Despite rumours of moves to other clubs in the close season, Basso remained at the club for the majority of the 2009–10 season, but made only four appearances, as relations soured between him and the club.
