Mark Harris

There has been speculation about moves away for Mark Harris in the past, League One, League 2 and even German clubs.

Harris has in the past been sent on Loan to Wrexham and Newport and failed quite miserably 2 goals in 16 appearances for Newport and for non league Wrexham 3 goals in 24 appearances, Harris 24 years old this year has scored 6 times for the Bluebirds in 54 appearances.

That's probably because, by now, he might have expected to be a nailed-on starter. But he is invariably a bench option and a more than capable one at that for 15-20mins.

The Wales international makes a far greater impact off the bench than he has done when he starts games, a player, to be fair, every team needs. But, like Watters, he will want to kick on this season and really push for a starting spot on a more regular basis.

Quite where he will be used in the upcoming season is unknown, too. Would he be more effective on the left or right of a front three, stretching out defences, running the channels and pressing the opposing full-backs? Or is he confidently staking a claim for a striker spot? If it's the latter, he will know his goal return will need to improve vastly.



So, certainly someone who will play a part, provided he stays and isn't offered a more attractive move elsewhere, but in what capacity remains to be seen at the minute. A close eye should be kept on how he is used in pre-season and in the opening games of the Championship campaign.

Said this 18 months ago... clear even at that time and before that he was not Championship standard.

Without a doubt not good enough and 5 different Cardiff managers have all given him a chance.

Andrew,

I never use to be able to understand then found out he was on one of the lowest wages at our club , way low, but now his wage is quite high due to our wages being lowered over all.
100% don’t see him here next season unless out the blue he does a miracle constantly .

Hard worker, a decent sub player but nothing more. Would prefer he is replaced with someone better and moved on, personally.

Other than work rate, I don't really see what he offers.
