Stuart O’Keefe has also left the club along with midfielder Tyrone Duffus. However, a great many of the key players have been retained for the 2019/2020 season including Sol Bamba, Joe Bennett, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Neil Etheridge, Callum Paterson and Joe Ralls.

This season Cardiff City will get to take on old rivals including Swansea City and Bristol City, in a local derby. After their successes in the Premier League, Cardiff has not faced Swansea since 2014.
