Nathan Trott is looking forward to showcasing his talents with Cardiff City in the Sky Bet Championship next season after signing a three-year deal with the Welsh outfit.

The Bermudian goalkeeper joined the Bluebirds on a season-long loan from Danish Superliga champions FC Copenhagen last summer and helped them make an immediate return to the Championship after dropping into League One for the first time in more than 20 years last season.

Trott is delighted to have finally completed the permanent move to Cardiff after agreeing to the terms of an undisclosed deal, which will run until the summer of 2029.

“It’s something that I’ve wanted to get across the line. Through the course of the season, I think that all of us were on the same page to get it done, so for it to finally be done now is an amazing feeling,” he commented on the club’s website.

“I think it’s the perfect group to be part of. With Brian [Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy] we’ve got a good group of players; a good core of young players, the Welsh boys, a few experienced players, and I think we all just gel together really well.

“I’ve felt the love of the fans since the first game, and as the season has gone on it’s only grown every single game. It’s been an amazing feeling; it makes it easier for me to play every game knowing that they’re behind you, especially away games — they’re always there. It’s a very special environment, a special group of fans and city as well, so I’m looking forward to continuing that story.

“I’m excited for the Championship. I think it’s a great opportunity for me to show what I can do. I think everyone saw what I’m capable of this season, but nobody’s really seen anything yet in terms of what I can do at a higher level, so I’m excited to get started.”

Cardiff sealed automatic promotion from League One with three games to spare, with Player of the Season nominee Trott holding his own between the posts.

The 27-year-old achieved a club record five clean sheets in his first five league appearances to hit the ground running at Cardiff City Stadium.

He went on to keep 16 clean sheets for the season and conceded 46 goals in as many appearances in all competitions.
