Ceri Hughes not offered long term contract

Last updated : 28 August 2002 By Michael Morris
The Echo are reporting today that Ceri Hughes will not be offered the contract he is looking for at Cardiff City. Hughes has very publicly stated he will pack in playing if City do not keep him on for the rest of the season.

Lennie is said to have only offered him a short term deal but from the sound of Lennie's quote (below) it looks like they have parted company for the time being at least.

"I've known Ceri a long time and I like him as a man and a player. We've shaken hands and Ceri is not training with us at the moment. The door is still open for him to return and I'd like to see that, but we need him in full-time training if he is to play a part this season."
