Mannie Barton has signed his first professional contract with the Bluebirds.
The 17-year-old joined the Academy at U10 level, progressing within the Club's youth system, gaining experience playing for both the U18 and U21 sides last season.

With professional terms agreed, the forward discussed his delight at committing the next step of his development to his boyhood Club:
"It's a proud moment for me and my family," said Mannie. "From being a lad in the stands to signing a professional contract at 17 is a dream come true.
"We're all from Cardiff so this means everything to my family. Playing against Yeovil Town in pre-season in front of all of the fans that travelled to support us was brilliant, and it was a great feeling to score in front of them, it's something that I'd like to do again!
"It's an exciting time to be a young player at the Club. I'm taking my progress day by day, it keeps me excited and on my toes."
