The pair have put pen to paper on extended contracts with the Bluebirds...

Just now

We’re pleased to announce that Lee Peltier and Junior Hoilett have agreed new deals to extend their time at Cardiff City Football Club.

Full-back Lee, who signed for the Bluebirds in January 2015, has put pen to paper on an extension until the summer of 2019. The thirty-year-old has made eighty-six appearances in all competitions since arriving in the Welsh capital.

In an exclusive interview with iFollow Cardiff City, Lee said: “I’ve enjoyed my time here up until now and hopefully I enjoy it even more next season. I'm delighted to extend my stay here."

Speaking of the impact that Neil Warnock had on his decision, the defender added: "You can see what he has done since he came in and he wants to have a good go at it next season.

"That was a massive influence on me putting pen to paper as I've bought in to what he wants to do. I'm definitely looking forward to getting going again."

Junior's new deal sees him commit to the Bluebirds until the summer of 2018.

Having signed under Warnock as a free agent last October, the Canadian forward has played in thirty-three games for City to date.

His first season in South Wales saw him net twice in League action for City, with his goals coming in home victories over Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United.

Happy with peltier extending, unexpected but happy with that. Not sure why we didn't get Hoillet on a two year deal, if he does well for us next season he could leave for free, but I suppose he came here because of Warnock and will stay as long as he is here.
