Lincoln City midfielder Jack Moylan is on the verge of leaving the club after missing recent pre-season friendlies amid strong links to Championship rivals Cardiff City. The Republic of Ireland international did not feature in matches against Doncaster Rovers or Barnsley, fuelling speculation about his imminent departure.
What happened during pre-season?
Moylan’s absence from Lincoln’s final two pre-season games has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. BBC Radio Lincolnshire’s Rob Makepeace noted the disappointment over losing a player of Moylan’s calibre, highlighting his contributions both on and off the pitch. The midfielder’s omission from the squad suggests advanced negotiations with Cardiff City are underway.
Why is this move significant for Lincoln City?
Losing a key player like Moylan could weaken Lincoln’s midfield options as they prepare for the new Championship season. His leadership and experience have been valuable assets, and his departure would leave a void in the team’s dynamics. Fans have expressed frustration, hoping the transfer saga will conclude swiftly to allow the club to focus on the upcoming campaign.
What comes next for Moylan and Lincoln City?
With talks reportedly nearing completion, Lincoln City will aim to finalise the deal in the coming days. The club is keen to avoid a prolonged transfer saga, which could disrupt their pre-season preparations. Meanwhile, Moylan’s potential move to Cardiff City would see him remain in the Championship, where he could face his former teammates in future fixtures.
