Rumour - Rob Kiernan

[Sutekh]

Cardiff City are considering a move for Wigan defender Rob Kiernan according to reports - but face a battle with Reading and Birmingham for his signature.

The 24-year-old defender impressed on loan with Gary Rowett’s Blues in the second half of this season, making 12 appearances and turning in a number of solid displays.

He started in the Birmingham side that lost 2-0 to Russell Slade’s Bluebirds courtesy of Eoin Doyle and Peter Whittingham goals at the Cardiff City Stadium back in March.

Kiernan still has two years left on his deal with the relegated Latics but it is thought he can leave for a ‘nominal fee’ this summer.

Both the Bluebirds and Royals have been credited with an interest and Birmingham are also thought to be interested in taking Kiernan on again, this time on a permanent basis.

Boss Rowett, who also had Kiernan on loan during his time at Burton Albion, has spoken of his desire to bring him back to St Andrew’s alongside other loanees Robert Tesche and Diego Fabbrini.

Seems like the Birmingham City deal fell through.....

With our steep wage cuts, if we find ourselves in competition with any other Championship club for a player, I wont hold my breath; especially when one of those clubs is Cardiff.

If we signed him and McShane then we'd be in our defence would be stronger, obviously.

Going to Rangers, bid accepted...
