TAYLOR PENS NEW 'CITY DEAL

Cardiff City Football Club can today announce that Andrew Taylor has signed a new deal, keeping the 26 year old at the Club until 2016. The former Middlesbrough defender has been a regular under Malky Mackay and continues to impress this season as one of our ever present squad members in the league.

Of the deal Malky Mackay said, “Andrew is one of those players who sometimes goes under the radar when it comes to making headlines, but he is always one of the first names on the teamsheet for me and has been utterly consistent in his attitude, application and performance since he joined us almost eighteen months ago.

“He is one of the guys I know I can absolutely count on week in, week out, so I was really pleased that he is as happy with us as we are with him.  Thanks to Andrew and his representatives for working with us to make it a relatively straight forward process.”

Equally thrilled was Tayls himself, adding: "This is great news for me personally, I couldn't be happier.

"The Club is in exactly the right place for acheiving its goal of Premier League football and I'm thrilled to have committed myself to that cause too. I needed no persuasion to sign this extension, it was an easy thing to do."
