Joe Ralls: Captain and long-serving midfielder leaves Cardiff City

Cardiff City captain Joe Ralls is leaving the club, bringing an end to 15 years at the Bluebirds.

Ralls, the Bluebirds’ longest-serving player, had initially been in discussions over potentially extending his stay at Cardiff City Stadium.

But, after talks with new manager Brian Barry-Murphy, the 31-year-old midfielder will move on when his contract expires at the end of this month.

Midfielder or right-back Andy Rinomhota is also set to depart with his three-year deal also not being renewed.

A decision on their futures had been put on hold as the club awaited to appoint a successor to Omer Riza after demotion to League One, with Barry-Murphy being confirmed as new head coach last week.

Ralls thanked owner Vincent Tan and the Cardiff board on social media, and Barry-Murphy for “being completely honest with me”.

“It’s incredibly hard to find the words after 15 years here… but the time has come for me to move on and for the club to go in a new direction,” Ralls said.
