In early August 2026, speculation grew around Republic of Ireland forward Jack Moylan as Cardiff City were reported to have made a substantial offer for the Lincoln City striker. Cardiff manager Brian Barry‑Murphy indicated that a fee had been agreed and that Moylan’s absence from Lincoln’s pre‑season hinted at an imminent move.

A few days later, the transfer was confirmed. Moylan signed a four‑year contract with Cardiff City, with the fee described as a club‑record low seven‑figure sum. The midfielder left Lincoln after 88 appearances, 21 goals and a key role in the club’s promotion to the Championship, and expressed delight at joining the Bluebirds.
