Former Cardiff City footballer Jonathan Morgan, who made more than 70 appearances for the club, including FA Cup, Welsh Cup and European Cup Winners Cup games, has been made principal of Coleg y Cymoedd. Jonathan, who says his best moment playing for the Bluebirds was when they beat Swansea one nil on Boxing Day 1990, believes skills he gained through his football career have helped him forge a new one in education.
"Playing for Cardiff City I was living the dream," he said, "I am a lifelong Cardiff City fan and got my first season ticket aged seven so it was a dream to be playing for my home team.
Jonathan left school at 15 and joined Cardiff City a few days later after his 16th birthday on a two year apprenticeship also studying in college one day a week. He signed a one year professional contract with the club in 1988 and a two year professional contract in 1989.
