Cardiff City forward Cian Ashford is enjoying playing in a more central role following his eye-catching performance in the Bluebirds' Carabao Cup win over Swindon. The 21-year-old assisted Yousef Salech for the second goal in the 3-2 win and was also denied by the crossbar. Ashford spent many years playing in a central role with Cardiff's academy but his minutes for the first team have almost exclusively come on the wing.

Swindon Town boss Ian Holloway insists he would be "delighted" if the League Two side repeat last season's 2-1 defeat by Cardiff City in the EFL Cup. The Bluebirds, who thrashed Italian giants Roma 4-1 in their final pre-season friendly last weekend, kick off the season against the Robins at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday (15:00 BST). The teams met at the same stage in the 2025-26 competition, when goals by Cian Ashford and Rubin Colwill earned Cardiff victory on their way to the quarter-finals, where they were beaten by Chelsea.
Tony Pulis believes Cardiff City is a massive club that would grace the Premier League, but warns they will need to step up a level as they return to the Championship after a season in League One. The experienced former Premier League manager - whose lengthy career included spells in charge at Stoke City, Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough - was impressed by the Bluebirds as they won promotion in their first season under boss Brian Barry-Murphy. "Obviously Cardiff had a fantastic season last year and they get promoted back up to the Championship," Newport-born Pulis told Radio Wales Breakfast.
Cardiff have made just one signing but are closing in on another and looked good in their surprise pre-season victory against Italian giants Roma. Joel Bagan, Perry Ng and Ronan Kpakio all have their skills, but you can't expect them to make it through a season without getting injured. David: The manager and team did a brilliant job last season - yes it was League One but the manager was still newish to management, and the team was full of very young inexperienced players.
Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Florentino Luís from Burnley, with the midfielder stating the club's long-term thinking was key in attracting him. The 26-year-old - who already offers Premier League experience - has signed a five-year deal at Portman Road, joining for an undisclosed fee. "It feels brilliant to be a part of this club," Florentino said.
