Cardiff City transfer news as forward to miss pre-season and ex-Bluebirds striker in talks with Newport County

Here are your Cardiff City headlines for Thursday, June 30.

Isaak Davies out for pre-season

Isaak Davies' knee injury is set to sideline him for the majority of pre-season, WalesOnline understands.

The young striker was called up to Wales' under-21s squad in the summer but had to withdraw due to injury. The timescale put on the injury at the time was around 12 weeks, which it is understood will take us up to the start of the season.

Whether his rehabilitation goes better than planned and he can sneak in before the season begins is a possibility, however missing the chance to train properly with his new team-mates and take on board the new playing style Steve Morison will likely try to implement will be a disadvantage.

Davies was in the building last week when the players reported for their first day back but is not currently in Scotland with the rest of the squad.

The 20-year-old will want to kick on next season after enjoying a breakthrough campaign last year.

Omar Bogle 'in talks with Newport County'

Former Bluebirds forward Omar Bogle is reportedly in talks to link up with his old Cardiff coach James Rowberry at Newport County.

The 28-year-old had a miserable time of it while contracted to Cardiff City, largely heading out on loan spells throughout his time with the club.

Since he left the Welsh capital in 2020 he has signed permanently for Charlton Athletic, Doncaster Rovers and Hartlepool United, for whom he penned a two-and-a-half-year deal back in January this year.

The Pools forward netted five times in 20 League Two appearances during the 21/22 season, but the Exiles are in the market to replace outgoing striker Dom Telford, who has signed for divisional rivals Crawley Town.

Football Insider claim Rowberry's team are in contact over a potential move for Bogle this summer.

Old face turns up at training

Ex-Cardiff City winger Chris Burke rocked up at the club's training camp in Scotland on Thursday morning.

The Bluebirds are four days into their stint at the Edinburgh Oriam facility and were surprised by a visit from ex-Scotland international Burke.

Burke, now 38, joined City from Rangers in 2009 and made more than 100 appearances in his two-and-a-half years at the club. A time when Mark Hudson would have been at the heart of City's defence.

And the old team-mates were pictured together during training up in Scotland. Warms the cockles.

"Thank you to the manager, Mark and all the coaching staff for making me feel so welcome," Burke wrote on Twitter. "I can see things going in a right direction especially with the positive environment they have created. All smiles on their faces."
