He saw his contract out playing just over 30 games in two years, but he was surprisingly given a six months extension by former manager Dave Jones to help him regain his fitness due to a other injury.

In November 2010, he when on a short-term loan deal to Carlisle United with an option for the deal to become permanent, should the loan be a success. He only played one game while at Carlisle a FA Cup win over Tamworth and return to Cardiff at the end of December.

Good to see Cardiff City defender Miguel Comminges as found a new club after signing for Southend United. He signed on a free transfer until the end of the season.

He has just come back to Cardiff after a loan spell with Carlisle United having only played 45minutes.

He would have better off if he would have stay at his previous than join Cardiff. Pre to join Swindon he was with French team Reims where in four season he played 74 time only to be plucked out of Swindon after at the end of his first season by City boss David Jones.

Truth by told, he never real looked a Cardiff City player and soon found himself sliding down the pecking order among the defenders. From 2008 until today he made 35 appearances mainly earlier in his career at Cardiff and opening rounds of the cup games, injuries also played there part in his time with Cardiff.

"I spoke to him today and told him that we want to make permanent signings that we think are going to be better than what we already have here, and we didn't think that he quite there at this moment in time.
