" Kion Etete leaves on loan "

Fri Aug 01, 2025 11:32 am

Centre forward Kion Etete has joined Rotherham United on loan for the 2025/26 season.

He linked up with the Bluebirds in 2022, and has made 63 appearances, scoring nine times so far.

We'd like to wish Kion all the very best while away from Cardiff City Stadium.

I'm amazed that another League One club would take him, especially after he had a terrible time at Bolton.

Glad he's not part of our squad anymore.

One of the worst players up top I've ever seen play and I've seen some Sunday league games tbh

Why did we extend his contract nuts!!

Hope there is a clause for them to buy him if he does ok. Another awful Morison era signing and unbelievable we offered him a new contract.

Can we have a clause that insists he plays against us to give us an extra man advantage?

This once again Sums up how badly we are run and why we lose so much money.


We did not want him last season, then gave him a Brand New Contract and unbelievable 2 yrs and we still don’t want him so send him out on loan.

A Complete Shambles once again by those above.

Surprised he’s got himself a league club. Awful player.

He’s seeing the daughter of my partner’s hairdresser.

Well I think it’s him. The hairdresser, on hearing I was from Cardiff said on my daughter is seeing a Cardiff football player. Played for Tottenham too she said. :laughing6:

There is definitely a player there but we have obviously run out of patience with him

We’ve now released 4 strikers who managed a grand total of 5 goals between them last season!!!

When my partner said about Tottenham I was thinking Tanner and then Wikipedia’d our whole squad. Completely forgot about him being at Tottenham.

Doesnt it reflect more on the manager and his team more than anyone else ,he is only 23 , he was with Spurs for 3 years didnt they align a sell on clause hence the contact renewal its edging ones bet s. Bet he looks decent in training or we dont play to his strengths.

Forgot to say actually.

He did say he would be moving on loan and also that he is excited about the takeover, he was gutted Des Buckingham didn’t get the job and that he has been to Tan’s house.

He was a disaster at Bolton too.

That’s not funny that pal. I’m completely bald.

I’m surprised he’s been given a chance at Rotherham, he’s more TNS standard.

Chopped/polished; same thing?

He's just the latest in a long line of strikers we've managed to turn into total donkeys, but he won't start scoring until he has totally left us.

Re: " Kion Etete leaves on loan "

I think some of the comments are very harsh. I could never criticise his effort and he did contribute. Unfortunately, he had a few injuries, which halted his development.

If you look at what Mark Harris did for Oxford at League 1, it's possible Etete can do alright at this level. It will be interesting to see how he does at Rotherham.

He wasn't going to play regularly here, so it's a chance for him to hopefully play regular games and show what he can do with a consistent run.

Wild that he’s still playing L1 football. Welsh league footballer at best.
