Ex-TNS man Ryan Pryce of interest to Cardiff City

The 20-year-old, from Telford, caught the eye of scouts at Jamie Vardy's V9 Academy last week and the Bluebirds are reportedly keen to secure his signature, with several other clubs interested.

Pryce left TNS last month and also had a trial at Middlesbrough last year.

He joined the Welsh Premier League champions on a two-year scholarship after he was released by Shrewsbury Town, aged 15, and was a key player under Scott Ruscoe.

The Saints have already been back in pre-season training for over a week, with their first friendly being against Cefn Druids on June 20.

They will find out next Tuesday who they will face in the Champions League first qualifying round, with the game set to be played on either June 27 or 28.
