Cardiff City set to sign Lincoln midfielder Moylan
Cardiff City are set to sign midfielder Jack Moylan from Championship rivals Lincoln City, strengthening the Bluebirds' squad ahead of the new season. The 24-year-old Republic of Ireland international would become Cardiff's second summer signing after goalkeeper Nathan Trott joined in May, and he will reunite with fellow Irishman Brian Barry-Murphy, Cardiff's manager.
Moylan was instrumental in Lincoln's promotion from League One last season, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists as the Imps pipped Cardiff to the title. His form earned him a first Republic of Ireland call-up, on which he scored a hat-trick on his debut in a 5-0 win over Grenada. Cardiff, who recently beat Roma 4-1 in a friendly, host Swindon Town in the EFL Cup on 8 August before starting their league campaign away to Wrexham on 17 August.
