Comminges off to Carlisle

Cardiff City boss Dave Jones has allowed defender Miguel Comminges to go out on loan to Carlisle Utd until Dec 31st.

Comminges was expected to be on the released list in the last summer but was given a short term contract of six months. He has been recovering from a long term injury and boss Jones thought it was fair to help the defender regain his fitness. His contract with the Bluebirds expires at the end of the season.

He joined Cardiff City in the summer of 2008 on a free from Swindon town on a two year contract. He made 12 starts in total with 20+ games off the bench he is also a Guadeloupe international.

The loan deal could turn into a permanent deal the Carlisle boss Greg Abbott told the club website:

"We need some defensive cover and Miguel will provide that,".

"He's a player that we know a lot about and we are delighted that he is coming to join us.

"He had a great time at Swindon and was progressing well at Cardiff, but his injury forced him out of the side.

"A lot of hard work has been done to get him back to match fitness and this move will give him a chance to get in and around our first team squad.

"He is strong, he's quick and he has an excellent reputation, so we're looking forward to working with him.

"If things go well, there may even be the option to take this further, but obviously we all want to this initial period to settle him in, and we'll see how it goes from there."

If the loan deal was to fail it is highly unlikely he will be seen in a Bluebirds shirt again and will go out on loan again until the end of the season.
