Craig Bellamy, under-18 manager and a leading figure in coaching throughout the Bluebirds’ Academy, is working closely with the youth leaders at all age levels.
Dane Facey, City’s lead youth development Coach (under-12 to under-16) plays a key part in the Academy and says: “This is my 11th season involved with Cardiff’s Academy.
