Thierry Katsukunya has found a new club quickly following his departure from Aston Villa. The 20-year-old defender left Villa Park at the end of his contract earlier this week and has already signed for Championship side Cardiff City.
Move to Cardiff City's Under-21s
The centre-back will link up with the club's Under-21s side. Speaking to Cardiff City TV, Katsukunya expressed his excitement: "I'm so excited to join this great club, especially straight after promotion as well. I can't wait to get started." He added, "I would describe myself as being calm and composed on the ball, a natural leader and someone who plays for the badge."
Opportunities at Cardiff
Katsukunya highlighted the opportunities at Cardiff as a key factor in his decision: "Seeing the opportunities here, from an outside perspective, I just want to be a part of it and be one of those names that have made it through. It's just so exciting."
One of 12 Released by Villa
Katsukunya was one of 12 players let go by Aston Villa this summer. The list of free transfers includes I-Lani Edwards, Ronnie Hollingshead, Thierry Alfred Farai Katsukunya, Max Matthew Lott, Calum Francis Moreland, Charlie James Pavey, Ewan Mark Simpson, and Kerr David Smith.
