Nathan Trott completes permanent Cardiff City transfer

Nathan Trott signs a permanent contract with the Bluebirds!
Cardiff City Football Club is delighted to confirm that Nathan Trott has joined the Club on a permanent transfer from Danish side F.C. København.

The goalkeeper joined the Bluebirds on loan at the beginning of the 2025/26 season and made an instant impact in South Wales, breaking a Club record by recording five clean sheets in his first five league appearances.

A Player of the Season nominee, the 27-year-old was a key member of Brian Barry-Murphy’s promotion-winning squad, making 41 Sky Bet League One appearances, and has now put pen to paper on a three-year deal in South Wales, which will run until the summer of 2029.

Speaking at Cardiff City Stadium after completing his move, Nathan said:It’s something that I’ve wanted to get across the line. Through the course of the season, I think that all of us were on the same page to get it done, so for it to finally be done now is an amazing feeling.

“I think it’s the perfect group to be part of. With Brian we’ve got a good group of players; a good core of young players, the Welsh boys, a few experienced players, and I think we all just gel together really well.

“I’ve felt the love of the fans since the first game, and as the season has gone on it’s only grown every single game. It’s been an amazing feeling; it makes it easier for me to play every game knowing that they’re behind you, especially away games – they’re always there. It’s a very special environment, a special group of fans and city as well, so I’m looking forward to continuing that story.

“I’m excited for the Championship. I think it’s a great opportunity for me to show what I can do. I think everyone saw what I’m capable of this season, but nobody’s really seen anything yet in terms of what I can do at a higher level, so I’m excited to get started.”
