Cardiff City Sign:


Cardiff City have signed centre-back Malachi Fagan-Walcott. The 21-year-old joins as an under-21s player initially until the end of the season.

Malachi Fagan-Walcott was released by Spurs U21’s after making No appearances for the first team, but went on loan to Dundee last season making 2 appearances for the Scottish club.


After well over 2 years of some awful results and not great football under manager Daren Purse , Purse believes he will add much more experience.





Under-21s boss Darren Purse said:

“He’s going to bring experience. He’ll be one of the older players in our group and he’s a specimen of a young man. He’s very good in possession of the ball and can read the game well. He’ll be a good addition to and will push our other centre-backs.

“We want him pushing to be involved in the first team. It’s a great signing for us and we’re looking forward to working with him. Like I say to all of the under-21s boys: ‘We’ll give you the opportunity, but you’ve got to go and take it’, and we’ll be hoping that Malachi does just that.”

I have a feeling he will end up being back up to the first team at some point.

Seems he's signed for the U21s to get his fitness back and will then work with the first team.
