'Outstanding' - New Cardiff City chief impressed with Bluebirds test results as players rated 'next level'



The Cardiff players' fitness and application is obviously a big part of that, and the club's new head of physical performance, Patrick Wilson, has been impressed by the general levels he is already seeing after just seven days.

"To be fair, if I can just reference the first week. The boys were outstanding," Wilson said from their camp in Scotland.

"We got to the backend of the week and we tested them properly and the application, the intent, the attitude they brought, to really hard, high dense, really physical training was next level.

"In between they were able to have a bit of banter, a bit of bite-back, I love that. It's a great sign of a group. It's a great sign they are starting to gel.

"One of the biggest parts is helping them reach their potential. These are phenomenal athletes, phenomenal people. They do not get to a club at a position like this without having something really, really special, and it's about try to find the best possible way to make that special shine come competition."

Wilson joins the Bluebirds after three years with Bath Rugby initially as their head of strength and conditioning before moving into the role of head of athletic performance. He says he has settled into his new position well, revealing it was too good an opportunity to turn down when he was made aware of the role with the Championship club.
