Jacob Draper was once on the conveyor belt to becoming a professional footballer, but has no regrets he switched to hockey. The Wales and Great Britain international was good enough with the larger round ball to be part of Cardiff City’s academy programme from the age of seven. He did six years alongside a tiny handful who eventually made it into the professional ranks, but would not change a thing as he follows his Commonwealth Games efforts with steering Wales towards next year’s Euro Hockey Championships in Germany.

By David Williams The brother of Cardiff City legend Peter Whittingham believes the club have finally created a legacy for one of their greatest ever players. Whittingham, who died in a fall in 2020, will be honoured by his two former clubs Cardiff City and Aston Villa, who will play a fixture in November during […]

Cardiff City manager Steve Morison insists he will not be bounced into making a poor striker signing just to get the critics off his back. Morison’s men slumped to another derby day defeat – their fifth in a row – on Sunday when they lost 2-0 in the Severnside derby at Bristol City. Morison was frustrated with his team’s finishing ability, or lack of it, and said he was fed up of defending his strikers over missed opportunities.

Sheyi Ojo believes he can become the derby day decider for Cardiff City at Bristol City in the Severnside clash. The Bluebirds have suffered a run of five successive derby defeats, but their encouraging start to the campaign has given them optimism ahead of Sunday’s noon showdown. Boss Steve Morison was the first to highlight his side lost both the home and away clashes to arch-rivals Swansea City and Bristol City last season – and pledged to stop the rot in the 2022-23 campaign.

Steve Morison believes Cardiff City have “a swagger” that is helping build an impressive start to their Championship season. The Bluebirds manager was happy with a 0-0 draw away to West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday night, a result that kept his new-look team inside the early play-off positions. Despite a huge turnover of players in the summer – conducted on a shoestring budget – Morison’s team have lost just once in their opening four matches and have collected seven points.

Byline David Williams Steve Morison is hoping his old Millwall mate Jed Wallace doesn’t take advantage when Cardiff City head to the Hawthorns on Tuesday night. Wallace made his Millwall debut playing in the same side as Morison at Bradford in 2017 and went on to play alongside him through to the end of the […]

Mahlon Romeo has told his Cardiff City teammates they must set higher standards if they want to continue their impressive start to the Championship season. The Bluebirds defender – who arrived from Millwall as part of manager Steve Morison’s summer revolution – is demanding his teammates raise their expectations as they find themselves fifth in the table after three matches with their next game away to West Brom on Wednesday night. Romeo has started in all three of Cardiff’s matches so far and the 26-year-old looks as if he will be a key player for the club this season.

Cardiff City boss Steve Morison believes his young striker Isaak Davies was hung out to dry in the recent transfer stalemate with Burnley. A fee of £2.5m was allegedly offered by last season’s Premier League fall guys to Cardiff for the 20-year-old earlier this week and was immediately turned down by the Bluebirds. But Morison believes the way in which the deal was aired in public has left the player with a burden to carry when he returns to action after recovering from a knee injury.

Newport County assistant manager Carl Serrant believes his team’s notable EFL Cup win at Luton Town underlines the growing depth in the Exiles’ squad. James Waite scored the late winner as League Two County upset Championship side Luton in the Carabao Cup first round, winning 3-2 at Kenilworth Road. Luton went ahead on 30 minutes courtesy of a stunning 35-yard drive into the top corner by Carlos Mendes Gomes, but were pegged back six minutes later as Lewis Collins equalised.

“Geeky” Romaine Sawyers is the man to boot-up the newly unboxed Cardiff City, according to manager Steve Morison. Sawyers scored the only goal of the game as a summer-assembled Cardiff began their Championship campaign with a 1-0 victory at home to Premier League drop-outs Norwich City. The midfielder arrived as one of 13 new players recruited by Morison this summer and will be the guiding force in smoothing the joins, says his boss.

By Daniel Parker The 2021-22 season was far from a vintage year for any of Wales’ three Football League Clubs. Swansea City fans had an historic derby double over rivals Cardiff to celebrate but little else; with Russell Martin’s side playing attractive football but ultimately unable to eke out any kind of consistency en route […]

Sheyi Ojo believes he has some unfinished business at Cardiff City after choosing to return to the club. The 25-year-old winger has rejoined the capital city club where he spent a loan spell with the Bluebirds the season before last. Ojo was released by Liverpool earlier this summer after making 13 appearances over six seasons, during which he spent much of his time out on loan.
