OFFICIAL " CARDIFF CITY SIGN GOALKEEPER ON LOAN "

Wed Aug 06, 2025 8:02 am

Cardiff City FC are delighted to welcome goalkeeper Nathan Trott to the Club.

The 26-year-old joins on loan from Copenhagen for the 2025/26 season.

Nathan spent time with Valencia at youth level, before joining West Ham United in 2016. He had spells with AFC Wimbledon, Nancy, and Vejle on loan before joining Copenhagen on a permanent deal in the summer of 2024.

Speaking about his new signing City boss Brian Barry-Murphy said: "We want to recruit absolute quality in every area of the pitch and players that can play the way we see the Club playing as we move forward and Nathan embodies all of that.

"I've known and watched Nathan play for a long time. I actually managed against him while he was on loan at Wimbledon.

"He fits the mould of the player we want to attract to the Club. He is still very young, he has a high level of skill and also has real room for growth and improvement to take his game to another level and that's the challenge we'll put to him.

"We'll also be looking to him to use his experience to provide leadership qualities to the squad."

After visiting Cardiff City Stadium and the Vale Resort for the first time as a City player, Nathan added: "It's a great move for me.

"I've spoken with Brian on the direction he wants the Club to go in. It's something I want to be a part of. I'm no stranger to new environments and learning new things and see this as a strength in myself.

"This is a huge moment for me in my career. I'm happy to be here."

Took them long enough to announce it, given he was at the game on Saturday and apparently said it was done :lol:



Welcome to the club.

I'll support him from the start.

I hope fans give him a chance and don't write him off before he's even got going.


Welcome, Nathan Trott :thumbright: :bluebird:

He shouldn't do in my opinion, Turner doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Interested to see who will start in goal now. By all accounts this was done by Saturday so no doubt Trott was brought in to start. However after Saturday I’m not sure BBM can drop Turner after his performance.

I personally would keep Turner in after Saturday but interested to see how BBM handles this

Turner should start tomorrow, would be harsh to drop him after his performance on Saturday.

BBM has his pre-match press conference later so I'm sure he'll be asked about it.

Loan for this season and option to buy if we get promoted.

Alnwick out the door. Do we need 3 keepers.

Think it's more likely that Horvath will go.

Yes, we do need three. Because if one gets injured then we need to have one to start and one on the bench.

I would imagine Trott, Turner and Alnwick are the three that will stay and compete for the number one spot.

Looks increasingly likely, Ned :thumbup:

Would be exceptionally hard to ‘drop’ Matt Turner after Saturday’s performance, but welcome to the club, Nathan ‘Maverick’ Trott :clap: :bluescarf: :bluebird: :ayatollah

100% will be Hovarth leaving, especially with the world cup coming up. He won't want to be sat on the bench.

I'd have prefered a CB, but if Horvarth is leaving, then it makes sense.

I'd sell Alnwick also and have a nipper as third choice.

Welcome Nathan

Looks pretty good on the youtube clip (but we have seen that before !),

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R997MdJcv1E

Comes off his line, not afraid to jump/challenge for ball and confident.

Good Luck to the lad, and CCFC too :occasion5:

The keeper is a converted left back if that helps.
