We are delighted to announce that Rubin Colwill has signed a new City deal.
His agreement with the Bluebirds will now run until the summer of 2030.
The Academy graduate broke into our First Team squad during 2021. He has since gone on to appear 181 times in City blue. Despite missing three months through injury, Rubin has still made a big impact on our enjoyable season thus far, scoring seven times, including three goals in his last two fixtures and assisting on six occasions in all competitions.
Rubin’s importance to the Bluebirds was emphasised during the summer months, with the playmaker nominated as vice-captain, alongside his move to the number 10 shirt.
Speaking about his new deal, Rubin said: “I’m very happy to get this sorted. This is my Club and it’s the only place I’ve wanted to be since I was nine. I want to thank Tan Sri Vincent, the Board and Brian for showing such faith and belief in me.
"I’m extremely proud to be wearing this shirt and I’ll give everything I can to get us back to where we belong. I can only see exciting times for us ahead."
City boss Brian Barry-Murphy added: "I'm very pleased. Rubin is a very important player for us. He understands the Club so well. To see him commit his future here is very exciting for me.
"He's so focussed on getting even better and so motivated to do that. If you retain a hunger to improve, and an ambition to reach for the stars, then you have no limits on what you can achieve and Rubin has that mentality."
Tan Sri Vincent Tan said: "I’ve known and admired Rubin as a footballer and person for a very long time now. He is a critical part of our team and of what we intend to do at Cardiff City in the coming seasons.
“Investing seriously like this in our talented young players for the long term is part of our football strategy and I’m very confident that Rubin will continue to push us forward. He is one of ours and he’s with us for this next journey.”
