Cardiff opt to extend forward Davies' contract

Cardiff City have triggered a clause in Isaak Davies' contract which means the forward will remain at the club until at least the summer of 2026.

Davies' deal had been due to expire at the end of this season.

But the Championship club have acted to secure the services of their 23-year-old academy product, who has recently returned to action after a serious hamstring injury.

Davies made three substitute appearances in February having returned to fitness, and will hope to feature again at Sunderland on Saturday.

"I'm really happy to extend my contract for another year," Davies told the club's website. Hopefully we can kick on now this season."

Aberdare-born Davies has racked up 45 Cardiff appearances, scoring three goals, since making his senior debut in 2021.

He spent the 2023-24 season on loan Kortrijk, scoring 12 times and being named player of the year at the Belgian club.

A Wales Under-21 international, Davies returned to Cardiff with high hopes of making a mark last summer only to suffer the hamstring issue in pre-season.

"All the boys have supported me throughout my injury," added Davies, who can play as a central striker or out wide.

"It was a long time, but I'm so glad to be back with them now.

"It's never nice being injured, but I stuck to the process and I'm back playing football, which is what I love."
