' THE NEW HEAD OF CARDIFF CITY ACADEMY '

Mon Jul 07, 2014 7:41 pm

After Dick Bate left his role as head of academy, the new head will be James McCarthy.

James has been part of our academy for 5 years and his father Paul has been involved with our club as a scout and a coach.

The youngsters in our set up have a lot of respect of James and look up to him.

I am told this is a good move and the academy will go forward under James.

My mate is guessing his age so could be the same bloke Wez.

I asked if he played football and he said yes and he was a good player but never played professional.
