Could on-loan Newport County striker Rhys Healey be the missing piece of the puzzle for Cardiff City?

By Dominic Booth

Thursday 10th November 2016


He's spent years on the periphery at Cardiff City since emerging through the academy, but Rhys Healey could finally be ready to answer the Bluebirds' calls for a goal scorer.

Neil Warnock is openly on the look-out for striking options in January . And with Healey now finding the net on loan at Newport after two goals in five league starts, the 21-year-old is targeting a place in the Bluebirds first team squad.

Healey has only made one appearance for Cardiff and flattered to deceive on loan at Colchester United and Dundee,

"I've been at Cardiff five or six years now, but I've not had many chances," he told BBC Sport.

"Hopefully at the back end of this loan, I can go there and prove I can play in that league, that I can help the team, but it is down to me to prove that."


Healey is finding his feet at Newport

Healey struck a sensational solo effort to help Newport grab a first league win of the season.

And Warnock was in the stands at Rodney Parade on Tuesday night to watch Healey feature in the Exiles' 2-0 EFL Trophy Victory win over AFC Wimbledon.

It prompted speculation that Healey could be primed for a Bluebirds' first team opportunity at long last.

"It is obviously frustrating because I believe I can score goals," he added.

"But I've needed to prove myself in a first-team environment which is why I am on loan.

"While I am here it is down to me to prove that I should be the one scoring goals for Cardiff City."

County fans I talk to rate Healey highly. They also can't understand how Tommy O'Sullivan and David Tutonda can't get a start @ Cardiff after impressing on loan with Newport.
