Speaking after Jonny put pen to paper at CCS, Mick McCarthy said: "I think it is one of the best deals of the transfer window. Especially late on, we've managed to get Jonny Williams in.

"I worked with him at Ipswich. He was fabulous. He brings a smile to the place. He's very, very talented. And he's Welsh, of course.

"He's delighted to be here. If he can play to his ability, then he'll rip it up."

Having graduated through the Crystal Palace academy, Jonny made a total of 70 appearances for the Eagles in all competitions.

He linked up with Mick McCarthy in loan spells at Ipswich Town, also spending time with Nottingham Forest, MK Dons and Sunderland, before joining Charlton Athletic permanently in 2019.

A 25-cap Wales international, the midfielder netted a late winner for his country away to Bulgaria in this season's UEFA Nations League.

Jonny's first interview as a Bluebird will follow on Cardiff City TV.

Welcome to Cardiff City, Jonny!

Just stay fit Jonny. I think this might turn out to be a good signing for us - good on the ball and never stops running.

End of season according to glen williams and maybe a striker later on who is currently unattached.

Very shrewd signing on a short term contract. The kind of player that is great to have around when your looking to avoid a relegation scrap

Jonny: "I'm delighted. I'm really looking forward to working with the Gaffer and TC again.

"They're great. I think I played the best football of my career under them at Ipswich. They gave me the belief and freedom to express myself."

Sadly I’m completely underwhelmed by bargain bucket league one players. It’s obvious we’re destined for lower table obscurity for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely Annis,50k doesnt buy a non league player these days,let alone an international!! If he keeps himself fit,could be a real bargain,not that at 50k he isnt.

Welcome to the rollercoaster known as CCFC Me williams.

Too right. He’ll certainly provide a zip in midfield and hopefully get us moving forward.

I think he'd rather be here on a free than 50k. He must be over whelmed by the faint praise and feel very welcome here. Lets hope that spurs him on to prove a point. There is certainly something in that dressing room that needs sorting out and cheering up. Maybe with these small changes it's enough to shake the tree a bit.

Good player.. Hard working ball player... Please don't kick the ball over his head.. Though I think we will now slowly move away from hoofball

If he can stay fit, then this is a cracking bit of business.

I dare say safety this year would lead to a new contract at the end of the season.

Croeso Jonniesta :bluescarf:

That made me laugh out loud :laughing5:
I also loved the post someone put up a while ago describing a player Luigi Glombard who played for us a good few years ago. It was something like - I remember seeing him play for us at Carrow road and his only contribution that day was an inch perfect through ball for Earnie to score. The trouble was that Earnie was playing for Norwich at the time :laughing5:

Sky are reporting that he here on a free, but I believe that it is the £50k plus addons is the correct info. As city are saying it is undisclosed then if it was on a free why would they not say that?

More energy in Jonny than the rest of our midfielder's put together. Who does he replace. Ralls, Pack, Bacuna, Vaulks ? :bluescarf:
