Cardiff's Colwill attracting League One interest

Joel Colwill has represented Wales at under-21 level

Cardiff City midfielder Joel Colwill could be set for a second loan move of the season, with several League One clubs interested.

Colwill, 20, has impressed on loan at Cheltenham Town in League Two this term, scoring nine goals from 28 appearances in all competitions.

Those performances have caught the eye of League One clubs Bolton Wanderers, Exeter City and Bristol Rovers

"Definitely the latter two, Bristol Rovers and Exeter. Bolton I think have got other players they're looking at before Joel in different positions. There are a couple of other clubs interested in him as well," said Cardiff manager Omer Riza.

"So he's got a long list of clubs in League One. When I was at Arsenal, I went out to League Two, then League One, and I think it's really good for the learning and experience of the player.

"He's been brilliant. That's credit to him and credit to Cheltenham for playing him and giving him the opportunity. He's playing well and enjoying it. You need to be out of your comfort zone in order to improve and keep progressing.

"It will be interesting, it's not definite he's going anywhere. He might stay at Cheltenham, but he might also go out [on loan somewhere else]. That could last right up until the end of the window."

Another Cardiff player who could leave on loan during the January transfer window is forward Michael Reindorf.

The 19-year-old, who has started one game and made three substitute appearances for the Bluebirds this season, is out with an ankle injury at the moment.

"He damaged his ankle and he's rehabbing now. Maybe another week or two potentially. There's potential for him to go out on loan if he's fit enough," said Riza.

"He's got interest in League Two, potentially League One, League Two probably. Good interest."
