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.
Manager Alfred Johansson says Motherwell have signed an "attack-minded and exciting defender" in Dylan Williams. The 22-year-old has joined the Fir Park side from Burton Albion for an undisclosed fee, penning a two-year deal with the club holding the option of a further year. The former Chelsea and Derby youth player is eligible for Motherwell's Conference League second-round qualifier against Faroese outfit HB.
Winger Joe Davies has joined Swansea City following his exit from League One side Peterborough United. Milton Keynes-born Davies spent three months on loan at Northern Premier League Division One outfit AFC Rushden and Diamonds last season, making 12 appearances and scoring one goal. "Coming from Welsh descent, I've always known about Swansea and about how they play, so to be here is amazing."
Cardiff City continue their pre-season campaign at Cork City on Tuesday (19:45 BST) with boss Brian Barry-Murphy acknowledging they have a lot of work to do before competitive football returns next month. Barry-Murphy will lead Cardiff in his home city as the Bluebirds face a Cork side currently top of the League of Ireland First Division, the nation's second tier. While it is still early in pre-season, Cardiff will hope for an encouraging evening at the Turner's Cross Stadium having lost 6-0 to Danish side FC Midtjylland in their opening friendly on Saturday.
Cardiff City will kick off the 2026-27 season with a home tie against League Two Swindon Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup. The match will be a repeat of last year's first-round meeting of the clubs in the same competition, which Cardiff won 2-1 thanks to goals from Cian Ashford and Rubin Colwill. The Carabao Cup first round is being played on the weekend of 7-9 August.
