Cardiff City star Sheyi Ojo is relishing life back with the Bluebirds and is determined to make the Welsh capital his home second time around.
The 25-year-old rejoined the club this summer on a two-year contract for his second spell with the Bluebirds, after spending the 2020/21 campaign on loan at Cardiff City Stadium.
A product of the Liverpool Academy, Ojo found it hard to settle and when asked about planting roots down at Cardiff, he said: “It’s a unique journey, I’ve been on loan to a few clubs. It’s been difficult to settle, it’s definitely a massive opportunity this season to feel like this place is my home.”
The winger, who will be at Cardiff City Stadium until the summer of 2024, has developed a close relationship with recently-signed defender Jamilu Collins, who has been living with Ojo until his family arrived here in the Welsh capital.
Manager Steve Morison revealed the devastating news on Friday that Collins, 28, will be out for the remainder of the season with an ACL injury. The Bluebirds boss also spoke of how close Ojo and Collins had become since the latter arrived from SC Paderborn.
“Since he’s come, obviously it’s difficult for him coming from a new country, I know what it’s like being on loan, I wanted to help him settle in as much a possible,” Ojo added.
“He was doing really well, I think he got man of the match first game of the season, he was doing really well on and off the pitch. He was getting closer to the team, so it’s really upsetting for him but obviously we’ve got to be there to support him now through his rehab.
“I’m going to personally do whatever I can to help him and his family. I’m sure he’ll come back stronger.”
