Cardiff City are close to signing former West Brom academy goalkeeper Matt Hall from Bangor City



Cardiff City are closing on a deal to sign Bangor City goalkeeper Matt Hall.

The 20-year-old former West Brom trainee also had an offer from Hamilton Academical in Scotland's Premiership.

He is likely to go into Cardiff's U23 side initially as he looks to impress manager Neil Warnock and prove that he can compete for a first team spot.


Hall is out of contract but Bangor will still command a nominal compensation fee as he is under 24.

Hall will be Cardiff's fifth signing of the summer after they have already completed deals for Greg Cunningham, Josh Murphy, Bobby Reid and Alex Smithies.

Their Premier League campaign will get underway on August 11 with a trip to Bournemouth.

This has got to be total rubbish
Why on earth would we want 4 goal keepers
Etheridge smithies and Murphy are more than good enough

Well Murphy is 35 I think so obviously this lad is thought of as being one for the future if the story is true.
Makes sense.

He'll be first choice for the Under 23 team. Also, good cover when Etheridge is away.
