BID ACCEPTED - JOHN BRAYFORD

Thu Jul 25, 2013 4:03 pm

Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that the club has had a bid for Derby County right-back John Brayford accepted by the Rams.

The player has now been given permission to discuss personal terms with the Bluebirds and undergo a medical.

Brayford, who is entering the final year of his contract at Pride Park, expressed a desire to make the move and test himself at the highest level of football in the Premier League.

The 25-year old right-back whose former clubs include Crewe Alexandra and Burton Albion has made 117 appearances in total for the Rams since his move to Pride Park in May 2010.

An ever present in Nigel Clough’s side, he made 43 appearances in all competitions for the Pride Park club last season, scoring three goals in the process.




All over twitter, just type his name in to see. Deal completed tomorrow.

He's one of the players I've wanted the club to go after. Excellent news if he signs :ayatollah: I must admit that I have not really seen him in action too often, but Premier League clubs have been linked with him plenty of times in the past. And he's been one of the top full-backs in the Football League for a while!

A reasonable and sensible signing. We need a RB quite urgently.

Further depth in defence. Finally.

Brayford and McNaughton competing at right-back means Connolly can be used in the centre.

Always thought we would go back in for him. Much needed signing :ayatollah:

"After holding discussions with the player, who is entering the final year of his contract, the offer has been accepted after he expressed a strong desire to make the move and test himself at the highest level of English football."

Exactly what we want to hear. :D

Exact fee Cardiff will pay for Brayford is £1.3m with add-ons for appearances and if the Bluebirds stay up. could reach £2m eventually
