Cardiff City have announced their new group of academy scholars for the upcoming campaign.

On the announced of the 12 new scholars, academy manager Gavin Chesterfield said: “Firstly, it’s about congratulating the players, their families and the huge level of commitment to get to this stage. The stats of getting to this stage is very much against them, so they should be proud of themselves and their efforts.


“A lot of these players have been with us for a very long time and they know the club inside out. What’s important now is that they embrace the journey that’s ahead of them. It will be full of highs and lows, but we feel as a club that we’re in a good position to support them, but also challenge and develop them so that they grow within this difficult industry.

“For these players, whilst we feel that we’ve got the correct facilities and the staff in place to drive them forward and help support them in the next stage of their journey, the important thing is that they continue to live our values on a daily basis and push each other to be the best version of themselves that they can be.”




The 12 players are: Jac Thomas, Alyas Debono, Joseff Edwards, Dakarai Mafico, Cody Williams, Jake Davies, Osian Rees, Troy Perrett, Lennon Talbot, Ronan Kpakio, James Lester and Daniel Ola.

Congratulations all and commiserations to those that haven't made the cut, chin up and work hard.

Hopefully they turn out better than our current u21s.
