Last Updated : 30-Oct-2025 by Michael Morris

Cardiff City have given Eli King a contract extension until 2027. King is recovering from a knee injury that will see him miss this whole season.

Speaking to Cardiff City TV, Eli said: “It’s a good feeling, and it’s nice to get it done. Obviously, the way the season started for me and the injury was really frustrating, but this gives me a bit of inspiration and motivation to come back and get fit.

“You miss it even more when you see how the boys are playing. You sometimes feel like you’re missing out a bit, but like I said it gives you that motivation and I’m excited for it.

“I’m really looking forward to being a part of the next pre-season, which will hopefully be in the league above!”

Brian Barry-Murphy added: “We are incredibly happy that Eli has extended his contract as he continues his recovery from his knee injury.

“This contract extension is a measure of how much he means to us and how much we believe in him.”
