Dundee sign Cardiff's Rhys Healey on loan, as Simon Ferry exits

Simon Ferry is now a free agent after his departure from Dens Park

Dundee have signed Cardiff City striker Rhys Healey on loan until January.

Now 20, he came through the youth ranks at Welsh Premier League side Connah's Quay Nomads before earning a move to Cardiff where he made his debut in 2014 against Chelsea.

The Englishman was loaned to Colchester for part of last season.

Meanwhile, Simon Ferry has left Dens by mutual consent. The former Swindon and Portsmouth midfielder joined Dundee last summer and made 23 appearances.

The 27-year-old has not played in the first team since the 4-0 win over Kilmarnock on the opening day of the season.
