' CITY RELEASE PLAYER '

Inside Cardiff City understands Cardiff City have released young full-back Jazzi Barnum-Bobb 19 months after he made his first team début for the club in a Capital One Cup tie against Coventry City.


We have been told by sources that the Bluebirds have released young talent Barnum-Bobb despite the former Watford full-back making two first team appearance last season. The 20-year-old was signed by former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following his release by Watford in 2014.

The pacey full-back made his Cardiff City début in a 2-1 away win over Coventry City in the Capital One Cup last season and made a second senior appearance in the 2nd round of the competition, the Bluebirds winning 3-2 at Port Vale on that occasion.



Barnum-Bobb spent the early part of this season on loan to Newport County where he played 14 times and his short-term loan spell was extended. Inside Cardiff City also understand current Newport boss Warren Feeney has been alerted to Barnum-Bobb’s situation.

Following his return from the Exiles, Barnum-Bobb featured heavily in the Bluebirds’ under-21 development set-up but with his contract due to expire in the summer, he has reportedly been told his future lies elsewhere.

The club have not yet confirmed Barnum-Bobb’s departure.

I reckon he will sign with County, he did well there by all accounts.

For f**k sake. Another youngsters gone? Thought he had potential?

Well see him at a rival or in the prem soon then

If you look at our full-back options then this decision is even more mysterious. Basically we have Peltier, Fabio, Malone and John. I think Fabio is out of contract this summer and I doubt he will resign on very much reduced wages. Therefore an opening is there as back up.

What is going on with our youngsters?????

Mate down the County was really impressed with him...yet another one not given a chance

thought he looked like a real good find, and had a cracker on his debut, gutted we have got rid of yet another youngster

Looked decent the little I seen of him but these guys watch him every day, I guess they know....**Waits for someone to mention the United kid lol**

Maybe if Fabio moves on we will see more of John then so Jazzy would still have struggled to break into the side in text year or so so it was deemed worth letting him go?

From what I saw I liked the kid and i'm sure he'll get picked up sooner rather than later

Isn't John also out of contract? Cant see him getting another.

Isn't John also out of contract? Cant see him getting another.

His contract runs out in june 2018

Question is would you drop anyone to play him? Answer NO can only have chance if better than other players in team.

Oh god, thought ibreas it was up this summer.
