Would be top class if they announced bluey has signed a new deal and then immediately tweeted that Chester has left

We’re delighted to announce that former Premier League defender James Chester has a contract extension at the SO Legal Stadium until the end of the season.

The former Manchester United center-back originally joined the Bluebirds on the final day of the summer transfer window, having trained with Pete Wild’s side for the vast majority of pre-season.

Since then, the 34-year-old has gone on to make 19 appearances for the Bluebirds which has seen him form a rock-solid partnership at the back with Niall Canavan and George Ray amongst other players.

The former Hull City star has now put pen to paper on a new deal with the Bluebirds which will see him remain with Wild's side until the 30th of June 2024.

[McMark]

Sensible deal sounds like it suits both parties so let’s crack on with it

Great news, never doubted it for a moment

[Matty]

I thought we would have heard something by now if he was to sign an extension until the end of the season to be honest. Would love to be wrong of course.

Have some patience FFS.

[McMark]

Well done to those that had to do without this Christmas to fulfill our wishes.
