Cardiff City headlines as Morison reveals Bluebirds transfer offer and Tomlin gets nickname at new club Walsall

Here are your Cardiff City headlines for Friday, February 25.

Steve Morison has revealed he once received an offer to join Cardiff City from Millwall, but eventually signed for Premier League side Norwich City that summer.

Morison's stock was sky high after scoring 35 Championship goals in two seasons with the Lions and Malky Mackay was keen to add the Wales international to his ranks ahead of a promotion push in the 2011/12 season.

Morison, though, opted for Norwich in the top flight. Cardiff eventually signed Robert Earnshaw, Kenny Miller and Rudy Gestede.

Ahead of this weekend's clash with Fulham, Morison was asked if he ever had a chance to join the Cottagers in his playing days, to which he responded: "I don't know, I doubt it. I got one from Cardiff once! I remember that.

"I don't think it went any further than interest - I can't remember when it was. I think it was when I went to Norwich from Millwall.

"I remember that period. It was when the Cardiff fan fell out of the stadium, I scored the equaliser, I lobbed Stephen Bywater.

"I remember [Cardiff] had just equalised and we were standing at the halfway line and me and Craig [Bellamy] were looking and all of a sudden the geezer just fell out of the stand, but he had so much to drink he didn't even hurt himself.

"Yeah, it was all around that time!"

Walsall boss Mike Flynn has hailed the arrival of former Cardiff City star Lee Tomlin as a "massive signing".

Tomlin has not played a competitive game for the Bluebirds since October 2020, but has trained with Northampton Town and Wrexham in recent weeks to build his fitness.

But Flynn, who hopes Tomlin can be involved against Hartlepool United on Saturday, snared the 33-year-old's signature and even revealed
