Craig Noone and Declan John set to leave Cardiff City, says boss Neil Warnock and maybe Anthony Pilkigton

Cardiff City winger Craig Noone and left-back Declan John are likely to leave this summer, according to the club's manager Neil Warnock.

Noone, 29, has made 170 appearances for the Bluebirds since joining from Brighton for £1m in 2012.

But he has struggled to secure a regular first-team place recently and Cardiff could sell him before his contract expires in 2018.

"I think Nooney realises it's time for him to move on," said Warnock.

"I think he needs a new challenge now. He's done ever so well for the club since he's been here.

"I only ever played two years at a club and I was a winger and I was ready to move on, and I think Craig needs a new challenge, get his enthusiasm back."

Another Cardiff winger, Anthony Pilkington, could also be on his way out of the club.

The 28-year-old signed a two-year contract extension last September, keeping him at Cardiff City Stadium until 2019.

But Warnock says the Republic of Ireland international could be another player among those to depart this summer.

"Pilks is similar [to Noone]," he told BBC Wales Sport.

"Pilks can score more goals, but whether he needs a new challenge or not, that is something which will be discussed in pre-season."

'I think Declan will move on'


While Pilkington and Noone's futures remain undecided for now, one player who seems destined for the exit is left-back John.

The 21-year-old has started only one game for Cardiff since Warnock was appointed manager of the Championship club in October.

"I think Declan will move on," the 68-year-old said.

"I had a good chat with him last season. I think the time has come for him to try his luck somewhere else.

"He's a little bit stale with us, he's not going to get much of a look in. I look at the left-back and left forward positions and he's kind of in between in the Championship.

"I think he could do a job somewhere and I think he's got to be playing now. I'm not going to stop him."

Reza, all three need to now move on, they are not really helping the current first team and Noone / John have done nothing for a long time.

We will save up to £200,000 a month just on these three players

Sad for Declan but it's been on the cards for a while now, as three managers/coaches have effectively shunned him

Overall good news n the other two, as I think both have been a little short of what was expected from them in recent times and we only saw their undoubted talents in fits and starts

Wish them all the very best of luck though and hope they rediscover their form...other than two obvious games a season, of course!

Chris, I stuck by Declan for years, but he just never improved in fact went backwards.

Good luck to him and the others

Annis, you certainly did

Disappointment Declan John never reached the next stage after getting his first cap. Our hopes for him have turned out to be a false dawn. I think he will see his career in league one but he might get lucky for another chance in the Championship.

Craig Noone has frustrated me more than any other player over the last few seasons. Definitely a case of time is up at the club.

Pilkington to me never showed his real position so was used as a utility guy. Always difficult to win people over when in that situation.

Our squad needs freshening up. Great move.

All 3 of theses players are great

In spurts......
They are key areas in both a track and defence and have not been continually dependable.

Players inconsistency has lead to team inconsistency.
You will see this in our up and down results and turning wins into draws last 5 mins.

Good luck boys.

Another fight somewhere else may take them to another level.
