TRAINING DAY: BACK IN ACTION, JULY 2014

Pre-season training is well underway at Cardiff City as the squad are pushed to their limits in preparation for the upcoming Sky Bet Championship campaign, only five short weeks away. Ole Gunnar Solskjær and his coaching team are rigorously testing the squad’s fitness levels now that the majority of players have returned to our Vale of Glamorgan training base this week.

The goal of course is to reach peak performance levels for the televised opening Football League fixture of the 2014/15 season, away at Blackburn Rovers on Friday 8 August. But a great deal of hard work has to be done before league points can be contested, starting this week on the training pitches and in the gym before our series of senior pre-season fixtures; the first away game next Monday.

As can be seen in the gallery images, along with over sixty exclusive training photos on our official Facebook page, Cardiff City are fitted out in high quality Cosway Sports training wear, as designed by our new kit supplier and partner. The first images and more information on the new Cardiff City 2014/15 home and away Cosway Sports kits will be available to see next Monday, 7 July, while the new away kit is also set to be worn against Carmarthen Town that night.

Our pre-season features and galleries will continue here, with far more interactive content available on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
