Cardiff to sign Danny Ward in £1million deal with Rotherham striker set for a medical this week
Relegated Millers cash in as Bluebirds chief Neil Warnock swoops for player he knows well from his time in Yorkshire
CARDIFF are signing Rotherham striker Danny Ward in a £1 million deal.
Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock has agreed a fee and terms for the forward, who will have a medical in Wales this week.
Ward played for Warnock at the Millers and the relegated club have opted to sell as he is entering the last year of his contract.
Rotherham are close to signing striker David Ball from Fleetwood as his replacement.
Ward, 25, scored 10 goals in 4o league games for the strugglers this season.
Cardiff are looking for alternatives to Kenneth Zohore, who discovered a rich vein of form under Warnock.
The veteran chief took over with the South Wales club 23rd in the Championship and masterminded a revival.
He agreed to sign on again for next season after receiving assurances he would be backed this summer.
Warnock is targeting a record eighth promotion as a manager in a career stretching back to 1980.
