Cardiff City set to sign Lincoln midfielder Moylan

What the report says

Cardiff City are set to add Lincoln City midfielder Jack Moylan, in a move reported by BBC Sport Football. The 24-year-old is described as joining from a Championship rival after helping Lincoln win the League One title and earn promotion last season, finishing as one of the team’s standout players.

BBC Sport said Moylan contributed 11 goals and six assists in the league campaign, numbers that helped underline his importance for the Imps. The report also noted that his form led to a first call-up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad, where he made an immediate impact by scoring a hat-trick on debut in a 5-0 win over Grenada.

If completed, the transfer would see Moylan link up with Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy, who is also Irish. He would be Cardiff’s second signing of the summer after Nathan Trott arrived in May.

The move comes as Cardiff continue their pre-season build-up. The club recently beat Roma 4-1 and are due to face Swindon Town in the first round of the EFL Cup before starting their league season against Wrexham. The signing matters because it strengthens Cardiff with a player who has just come through a promotion-winning campaign and brings recent senior international experience.
