Ex-Cobbler and Cardiff City Academy manager, Steve Morison Said back in August 2020 when he signed a new contract with Cardiff: “I’m really pleased for him. He’s somebody that we recruited into the Academy around 12 months ago. Since the end of the last season he’s come back flying, and the Gaffer has really liked from what he’s seen of him.
