Ex-Cardiff City winger Chris Burke rocked up at the clubs

Ex-Cardiff City winger Chris Burke rocked up at the club's training camp in Scotland on Thursday morning.

The Bluebirds are four days into their stint at the Edinburgh Oriam facility and were surprised by a visit from ex-Scotland international Burke.

Burke, now 38, joined City from Rangers in 2009 and made more than 100 appearances in his two-and-a-half years at the club. A time when Mark Hudson would have been at the heart of City's defence.

And the old team-mates were pictured together during training up in Scotland. Warms the cockles.

"Thank you to the manager, Mark and all the coaching staff for making me feel so welcome," Burke wrote on Twitter. "I can see things going in a right direction especially with the positive environment they have created. All smiles on their faces.

Really liked Chris Burke. Pure commitment every week. Used to love seeing him going down the wing and cutting inside causing the full backs havoc!

Had a great partnership with Adam Matthews and we would have gone up automatically if Dave Jones hadn't dropped Matthews after about a third of the season and then left Burke out for a month or so (in which we picked up very few points).
