Cardiff City set to seal double deal of Sol Bamba and Junior Hoilett

Neil Warnock is getting to work at Cardiff City.

Friday 7th October 2016

The BBC report both Bamba and Hoilett could potentially feature for Cardiff in their upcoming game against Bristol City once the international break resumes.




Cardiff City are on the verge of sealing a double deal for free agent duo Junior Hoilett and Sol Bamba, report The BBC.

Hoilett has been a free agent since the summer, when his contract at QPR expired.

Bamba was surprisingly released by Leeds United last month despite being club captain.

He had fallen down the pecking order at Elland Road, and the club felt confident enough in their new additions of Kyle Bartley and Pontus Jansson that they could afford to let him go.

Cardiff this week appointed Neil Warnock as manager after firing Paul Trollope, following a disappointing start to the season.


Warnock re-energised Rotherham in similar circumstances last season, and used the free agent market to bolster his squad at the time.

The deals could be formally announced as soon as today (Friday).

During his time with Blackburn, Junior Hoilett had loan spells at German clubs SC Paderborn and FC St Pauli


New Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock is set to sign defender Sol Bamba and winger Junior Hoilett.

Bamba, 31, left Leeds United in September while Hoilett is also a free agent having left QPR in the summer.

Canadian Hoilett is being brought in to provide pace on the Bluebirds' flanks.

Ivory Coast international Bamba will help bolster a defence that has conceded 19 league goals this season and left Cardiff second from bottom of the Championship.

Canada international Hoilett was seen as one of the brightest young players in the Premier League.

His progress has been hampered by injury in recent seasons, but in 2015-16 he made 31 appearances for QPR and scored six goals.

Hoilett is set to be involved when Warnock takes charge of his first Cardiff game as Bristol City visit the Welsh capital on Friday, 14 October.

That game could also see Ivory Coast international Bamba's introduction following his departure from Elland Road for "personal reasons".

The Ivory Coast international is understood to be close to completing a move to the Bluebirds after having his contract terminated by mutual consent last month.

He had started the season as Garry Monk's captain at Elland Road. The centre-half made 51 Championship appearances for Leeds and has previously played for Trabzonspor, Leicester and Hibernian.

He has played 44 times for his country, including at the last World Cup in 2014.
