Capaldi training with Plymouth

Back to Plymouth

When Tony Capaldi left Plymouth he became a No1 hate figure among a section of Argyle fans. Capaldi had rejected a new contract with Plymouth and on 25 May 2007 he signed a three-year contract with Cardiff City, joining on a Bosman free transfer. The ex-Cardiff defender will be going on Plymouth's pre-season tour of Holland

He is back at Plymouth training with the squad after been invited by boss Peter Reid saying,

"He was a fine player for Plymouth in the past and he's had a decent career.

"He's got good experience and has got that balance on the left side.

"It's a chance for Tony to have a look at us, and me to have a look at him."

Capaldi was release by the Bluebirds after his career nosedive after his first season where he was constantly in the first team. The following season he played only five times for the City and last season he was picking up the odd game but was loaned out to Leeds before Christmas.

It was rumour that Cardiff boss Dave Jones was going to off load him in January, but all the trouble it the fan with the club unable to bring in new faces that Jones decided to keep hold of him. He then went on to help the Bluebirds to the play-off finals although he did not part in either of the semis or final.
