Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy says he is highly motivated to strengthen the squad and move the club forward after signing a contract extension through 2029. Cardiff have so far made Nathan Trott’s loan permanent and have been linked with Jens Hjertø-Dahl and Jack Moylan, although Barry-Murphy says no new arrivals are imminent. Following a 4-1 pre-season win over Roma, he praised the team’s improvement and intensity while acknowledging that further physical conditioning and preparation are needed before the Championship campaign begins.
