But that will be away from Cardiff City Stadium.

Mason, 23, is in talks over a new contract (his current deal runs until 2016) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the young striker has a bright future at Cardiff.

The Irishman has been at Cardiff for three years and scored one of City's goals in the 2012 Carling Cup Final (above).

“Joe has a big future with Cardiff City and we are having talks on a new contract,” said Solskjaer. “When they are concluded Joe is likely to go out on loan. I want him playing first team football and continuing his development.”

A return to Bolton is possible (where he could join Kevin McNaughton) but Brighton are also interested.
