Teenage midfielder Troy Perrett has become the second Cardiff City academy prospect to join Yeovil Town on loan until the end of the season.
The Wales Under-21s international links up with fellow Bluebird Dakarai Mafico, who arrived at the end of last week and turned in a Man of the Match performance in the FA Trophy fourth round win over Alvechurch on Saturday.
Announcing the signing on Monday, Glovers’ boss Billy Rowley said: “Troy is a talented young player with a lot of potential. He’s already been involved at senior and international level, and this move gives him the chance to gain valuable experience. We’re pleased to welcome him to the club.”
Perrett has made four appearances for the Bluebirds’ first-team in the EFL Trophy this season including scoring in a 3-1 home win over Arsenal Under-21s in November. He made his Cardiff first-team debut in September when he appeared as a second half substitute in a 1-0 win at Exeter City.
In the same announcement, Perrett said: “I’m really pleased to be joining Yeovil Town. It’s a great opportunity for me to get minutes and continue my development in a competitive environment. I’m looking forward to getting started and helping the team wherever I can.”
Not another midfielder, what on earth is going on? Maybe it’s ‘buy one get one free’!!!!
