Ex-Cardiff Defender to Join Town

20-year-old former Cardiff City central defender Josh Yorwerth will join Ipswich Town in the summer.

Bridgend-born Yorwerth was at Portman Road for today’s Championship play-off semi-final against Norwich and to sign terms which will start in July when his Bluebirds contract comes to an end.

The Wales U16, U19 and U21 international was released by Cardiff earlier in the week having come through their youth system.

He was recently on trial at Portman Road and featured in the U21s games against Charlton, Bristol City and Colchester towards the end of the season.

Yorwerth, who is yet to make a senior appearance, is likely to be viewed as a member of Mark Kennedy’s development squad next season.

Hmmm?

I heard good reports about him.

When City released Declan Dalley, who went on to sign for Man Utd, I remember Scott Young saying we let Dalley go because we got a better centre half in Josh Yorwerth.

Thats Our club all over Carl.

But Declan Dalley did not seem to make much progress with Man Utd before retiring with injury.

All young players have some good games and it is difficult to decide who to retain and let go.

If after being at the club for the last 5years our coaches can not tell a good player from a bad player, then there is something radically wrong.

Kennedy's opinion versus Slade & Young?

Yoswerth played well in the U21 match vs Bulgaria.

Don't know why he's been released.
