Two New players for the U18’s Squad:


16 year-old midfielder Pedro Araujo is set to join Cardiff City from Crystal Palace after being released by the Premiership Club.

Pedro will sign his scholarship with Cardiff City and will join from the 2026/27 season.

From U7-U11, Pedro was at Arsenal, then he spent his U12 season at Stevenage before signing for Crystal Palace as a U13.

Pedro will be playing for Cardiff’s U18 side next season (alongside Cass Machin, who signed from Manchester City after being recently released ).

I read these kind of youngsters most never make it Above div 1 level.... but guess those clubs didn't have bbm as coach or city's set up at academy level. So can be optimistic they'll get to our 1st team.

I’m with you Allan, Most never make it above league 1.

But I believe BBM is capable of getting a couple through at Championship level.

This tells me that BBM is going nowhere.

Because let's be honest, he's the reason these two players have joined our academy.
