Craig McCormick, 33, of Colesdown Hill, was sentenced at the city's Crown Court, to 22 years, with 18 to be spent in custody and the remainder on licence.
McCormick had been charged with two counts of rape against one victim, following a three-day trial held in June, he was found guilty on one charge and not guilty on the second.
