Cardiff City have taken Leeds United duo Jack and Paul McKay on trial with the idea of bringing the twins into the U23 setup.

The 21-year old's are the sons of football agent Willie McKay and joined Leeds from fellow Yorkshire club Doncaster Rovers in 2016 although they have struggled for any senior football at Elland Road.

Paul, a centre-back did make one appearance, in the FA Cup against Sutton however his brother Jack had to go out on loan to Airdrieonians last season in search of football.

And, according to Inside Wales Sport, Cardiff City have taken the pair on trial with a view to bringing them into a revamped under 23 team.

Neil Warnock is keen to change the way the development squad currently operates with very few Cardiff players emerging from within the ranks over recent years.

The experienced manager wants to create a younger and more competitive group which is run by Jarred Harvey and Andy Legg. The McKay twins are a number of trialists who will be given a chance in upcoming games in order to earn a move.

The Verdict

It seems as though a move would benefit the players given that Leeds are allowing them to go on trial, which suggests they don’t see a route to the first-team for either player.

For Cardiff, it’s good that Warnock has identified a problem with the U23s and fans will be pleased that they are trying to do something about it.

The club are in no position to throw lots of money at bringing players in, so new players must come through the development side, now it’s down the McKay twins to prove they deserve a chance with the Welsh club.
