Goalkeeper Rohan Luthra says he could not pass up the opportunity to sign for "huge club" Cardiff City.

Sky Sports News this week revealed Luthra would be joining the Bluebirds and taking on a new challenge after spending 11 years in the system at Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The 19-year-old underwent a medical and met Bluebirds chief executive Ken Choo before signing his new contract and becoming a Cardiff City player.

Luthra links up with the club's U23s and will begin training under former Millwall and Wales international striker Steve Morison on Thursday.

"I am so proud and so excited to join Cardiff City," Luthra told Sky Sports News.


"This is a huge football club with a rich history and some of the most passionate supporters in Britain. I really hope I can get the chance to play in front of them in the future.



"I know there is a lot of hard work ahead. I'm really looking forward to getting to know my team-mates and learning from all of the staff at the club. I cannot wait to get started."

Wonder if this means if Smithies might be on his way out. Sounds like a very promising player but difficult to get too excited about a player who will almost certainly not play for us in the next couple of season. In fact do we really need another keeper even a young one when the two we have are so good?

As you say, I guess this means Smithies is likely to move on. I just don’t think we can justify keeping a keeper of Smithies or Phillips quality on the bench and, more importantly, they are unlikely to accept that either.

Probably Smithies to go, Phillips to become number 1. Ratcliffe as back up. New boy as number 3/ under 23s
