A warrior on the field and a gentleman off it, Matt has given eight years of his career to the Bluebirds since signing from Queens Park Rangers in 2012. He was part of our 2013 and 2018 promotion campaigns and scored seven times across 146 first team appearances.
Matt was voted as the Club’s Player of the Season in May 2016 for a stellar 2015/16 campaign.
On behalf of all of us at Cardiff City Football Club we’d like to wish Matt the very best for the future and look forward to seeing him back as our guest in the not too distant future.
