Official ' Junior Hoilett Is A Bluebird '

10th October 2016


Cardiff City FC is delighted to confirm the signing of Junior Hoilett, subject to international clearance.

The Canadian international winger has signed a deal until the summer of 2017 and will link up for a second time with Neil Warnock having previously played for the City Boss at Queens Park Rangers.

Twenty-six year old Junior originally came through the academy at Blackburn Rovers. After gaining experience on loan at SC Paderborn and FC St. Pauli, he went on to score twelve Premier League goals from eighty-one league appearances for the Ewood Park club.

Following Blackburn's relegation to the Championship, the Hoilett returned to the top flight with QPR. He would pull on the Hoops' shirt one hundred and twelve times in the league, netting on twelve occasions for the Loftus Road side.

Speaking exclusively to Cardiff City Player HD in an interview that you can watch in full as part of this Wednesday’s early edition of ‘In The City’, Junior said: “I’m really pleased to be here and I’m ready to go.

“The Manager puts belief in his players and this is a great group of lads. Everyone loves playing for the Gaffer.

“I’m here to hopefully bring some more creativity and goals. I can’t wait to get started.”

Love that quote, they all want to work for the gaffer.

Warnock is getting his message across.

Very very short contract until the summer of 2017 someone isn't confident of someone by looks

Good signing and its good that hes not on a stupid 3 year contract if he doesn't work out and we are stuck with him and ending up paying him off and if he does well then renew in the summer. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Winger Junior Hoilett has signed for Cardiff City on a deal which will last under the end of the season :bluebird: :bluebird:

Hoilett had been available on a free transfer after leaving Queens Park Rangers in the summer and new Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is excited at the prospect of linking up with a player he worked with at Loftus Road.

Warnock told the club's official website: "Junior did well for me at QPR and by the time I left there was one of the Club's most important players.

"I'm delighted to have him here with us at Cardiff City and I know that he'll respond to the the fans and me. What's more, he's a player who will help bring the best out of those around him."

Hoilett made 122 appearances for QPR during his four years at the club.

Any developments on the other two annis? :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

I think a short contract is actually very wise. He hasnt cost us much as a free. If it doesnt work out then he doesnt have to wait long to move on. If it does he can sign a new contract should he want to and if he doesnt, he can wander off to the sunset and we havent lost out on a transfer fee. Makes sense to me.

Decent signing happy with that.

The one year contract may be down to him moving to the mls next season.
